We are seeking a motivated Geostructural Project Engineer to join our growing team. This position is intended for an early-to-mid career candidate interested in both developing technical designs and providing support through construction. The role will support geostructural design and design-build projects through engineering calculations, CAD production, field observation, construction support, and report preparation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants a combination of office-based design, geotechnical and structural analysis, construction support, and hands‑on field exposure.

• Assist senior engineers and project managers with geotechnical and structural design tasks for earth retention and foundation projects, including supporting designs such as slopes, drainage, utilities, grading, and erosion control.
• Prepare basic engineering calculations, quantity take-offs, sketches, figures, and supporting documentation for design memoranda, reports, proposals, and construction documents.
• Support development of project plans, details, and construction drawings using AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D.
• Assist with preparation of permit submittals, construction document packages, and technical exhibits.
• Coordinate with engineering, construction, and sales teams to interpret project requirements, design assumptions, codes, standards, and client specifications.
• Observe geostructural‑related construction activities and document site conditions, contractor activities, and general conformance with project documents. This includes performing load testing on various structural elements
• Prepare clear, accurate, and timely field reports, observation logs, and testing summaries.
• Support engineers during construction by responding to field questions, reviewing drawings, preparing sketches, and documenting changed conditions.

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.
• Engineer-in-Training certification or intent to pursue EIT certification.

• Professional Engineer licensure.
• Prior professional experience in civil, geotechnical, construction, or materials testing work.
• Experience with geotechnical software such as Slide2, RS2, LPile, GROUP, DeepFND, Settle3, PLAXIS, gINT, Open Ground, or similar programs.
• Experience with GIS, GPS, Micro Station, Revit, or other design and mapping software.
• Familiarity with FHWA, ASTM, AASHTO, DOT, or local agency specifications.
• ACI, NICET, OSHA 10/30-hour, or other construction-related certifications.

• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and on active construction sites.
