• Support the preparation of cost estimates, specifications, and other relevant project documentation.
• Analyze data, perform engineering calculations, and conduct analyses, subject to review by a Professional Engineer.
• Coordinate and conduct field investigations, laboratory testing, and data evaluation.
• Develop comprehensive plans, schedules, and detailed phases for assigned project work.
• Collaborate closely with senior‑level project managers and Professional Engineers to gain valuable project management and engineering experience.
• Provide design recommendations, adaptations, and modifications for review and consideration by the Professional Engineer.
• Prepare work scopes, proposals, reports, and investigation plans for approval by senior‑level professionals.
• Supervise field staff, including graduate/field engineers, engineering technicians, exploration teams, laboratory personnel, and other necessary support personnel.
• Engage with clients and project teams to define service scopes and effectively communicate project progress.

• Highly organized and able to prioritize work, meeting deadlines.
• Strong leadership, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work both independently and as a team member.
• Ability to create, maintain, and communicate project budgets.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills.
• Prior experience providing geotechnical engineering services for transportation and/or commercial projects, including foundation/geotechnical designs, subsurface investigation, pavement design, and writing geotechnical recommendation reports.
• Experience with geotechnical analysis and design software such as gINT, AutoCAD, and/or Micro Station. Other software such as Geoslope, Volflo, Settle3D, Win Pass, and others are preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree (BS) in Geotechnical, Civil Engineering, or related ABET‑accredited field.
• Master’s Degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or Civil Engineering is preferred.
• 5+ years’ experience preferred.
• Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) or Engineering Intern (EI) required in Oklahoma, Texas, or ability to attain within 6 months.
• Preferred location is Tulsa, Oklahoma but open to all locations within Oklahoma.
• Ability to work in the field when necessary, with occasional travel.
