Our team also has expertise in addressing issues such as landslides, sinkholes, mine subsidence, seepage, expansive soils, and seismic activity. We have successfully completed over 1,000 subsurface and geophysical projects nationwide, ranging from small initiatives to large-scale dams, highways, bridges, and underground facilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define project scope, resources, timelines, and budget for significant and complex assignments.
  • Lead the design and execution of major projects independently.
  • Manage and coordinate multiple large-scale projects with diverse teams and subcontractors.
  • Utilize extensive knowledge to evaluate, select, and implement appropriate techniques and analyses.
  • Provide construction support services, including assisting clients with bidding processes, conducting site observations, and managing project changes.
  • Review project documentation to ensure compliance and quality standards.
  • Engage in business development to expand our client base and identify new opportunities.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams for project acquisition and execution.
  • Foster and maintain client relationships, understanding their needs and managing expectations.
  • Lead and mentor technical staff to cultivate a high-performing team.
  • Innovate new methodologies and enhance existing processes.

  • Represent the organization in professional communications and conferences related to engineering projects.
  • Delegate tasks to junior consultants and technicians, ensuring effective supervision.
  • Train staff on specialized software and proprietary applications.
  • Assist senior management in executing business strategies and may oversee specific organizational programs.

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution; a Master's degree is preferred.
  • A minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in geotechnical engineering.
  • Proven project management experience with multidisciplinary teams and client development.
  • Professional Engineering license in California or a state with comity.
