Branch Manager

ECS Limited is one of the nation’s leading providers of geotechnical, materials testing, environmental and facilities science services, and we’re growing our Arizona presence. We’re looking for a driven, people-first geotechnical engineering leader to take the helm of our Tempe branch.

As a Branch Manager, you will own the full business: from winning new projects and leading multidisciplinary teams to managing the P&L and shaping the culture of a high-performing office. This is a rare opportunity to lead a thriving branch with the backing of a nationally recognized firm, while making a direct impact on the built environment of the greater Phoenix metro area.

  Drive business development through strategic networking, proposal development, and long-term client relationship management
• Perform technical review of engineering designs, drawings, plans, and specifications to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance
• Champion safety standards, engineering best practices, and quality management across all branch operations
• Hire, develop, and retain top engineering and field talent; build a culture of engagement, professional growth, and high performance
• Represent ECS Limited’s values externally and serve as a visible leader in the Arizona engineering community

• 10+ years of combined technical and management experience in civil or geotechnical engineering
• BS in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution with geotechnical emphasis
• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Professional Geologist (PG); active Arizona licensure
