  • Technical Sales & Preconstruction Support
  • Review geotechnical reports, plans, and specifications to identify project risks and opportunities
  • Collaborate with estimating and operations teams to develop competitive, constructible solutions
  • Assist with bid strategy, scope definition, value engineering, and alternative design concepts
  • Support proposal development, presentations, and interviews
  • Market & Strategic Support

  • Support strategic account planning and market sector growth initiatives
  • Maintain accurate CRM records for client interactions and pursuits

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in construction. Prefer a geotechnical background with knowledge of deep foundations, or specialty construction
  • Strong understanding of geotechnical systems (i.e., drilled shafts, micropiles, soil mixing, shoring, ground improvement)
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Ability to read and interpret geotechnical reports and construction documents

Preferred

  • Prior experience in sales, estimating, project engineering, or project management
  • PE license or EIT certification
  • Familiarity with the northeast construction market and key regional clients

Key Competencies

  • Technical credibility with clients and engineers
  • Strategic thinking and opportunity assessment
  • Collaborative mindset with operations and estimating teams
  • Strong presentation and negotiation skills
  • Organized, proactive, and self-motivated

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary plus a lucrative performance-based incentive compensation
  • Health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits
