This role asks you to bring this same set of skills and knowledge to a different challenge: determining why an incident occurred.

You will work alongside nationally respected experts on casework that is consequential to industry and society, and you will keep learning for the rest of your career. Prior forensic experience is not required. We hire for deep industry knowledge. Robson Forensic will train you to apply your expertise in a forensic setting, based on our experience of nearly 40 years in providing expert witness services.

• Investigate highway construction incidents.
• Analyze highway construction site procedures, applying your experience and comprehensive knowledge of standards and practices.
