Geotechnical Engineer

$95000 - $150000 per year | Rancho Cordova, CA | On-site | Permanent

Our client is a well-established, employee-owned geotechnical engineering consulting firm in California with a strong portfolio of infrastructure projects. The team works on technically challenging transportation projects involving bridges, deep foundations, retaining walls, and roadway improvements.

This is an opportunity for an up-and-coming geotechnical engineer who wants to take the next step professionally. You'll have the chance to manage your own project assignments, contribute to meaningful engineering work, and develop your technical judgment while learning directly from experienced senior engineers. The goal is to give you both the autonomy to grow and the mentorship to help you get there.

• Take Ownership Early:
  Manage your own assignments and play an active role in project delivery rather than simply supporting someone else's workload.
• Get Mentorship Without Micromanagement:
  Work independently while having access to experienced engineers who can provide technical guidance, answer questions, and help you grow.
• Work on Meaningful Infrastructure:
  Contribute to transportation projects involving bridges, deep foundations, retaining walls, and roadway improvements.
• Build Toward Professional Licensure:
  Continue developing your technical expertise and progress toward your California PE or GE license.
• Join an Employee-Owned Firm:
  Become part of an established organization where employees have a stake in the firm's long-term success.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Approximately 5 years of geotechnical engineering experience, ideally in a consulting environment.
• FE exam passed and EIT certification obtained, or currently preparing to take the FE exam with a clear path toward licensure.
• Interest or experience in transportation infrastructure, including deep foundations, retaining walls, bridges, or roadway improvements.
• Ability to take ownership of engineering assignments and move projects forward independently, with senior-level support when needed.
• Familiarity with geotechnical investigations, engineering analyses, calculations, and technical report preparation.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to coordinate with project teams and clients.
• California PE or GE license is a plus, whether newly obtained or already established; candidates actively preparing for the PE exam are also encouraged to apply. Caltrans and AASHTO experience is beneficial.
