Location: New York City Metro Area
About the role
A leading geotechnical engineering consultancy is looking for a Mid-Level Geotechnical Engineer to join its New York area team. This opportunity is particularly suited to an engineer with approximately 3-7 years of experience who has developed a strong field background and now wants to continue building their design and project management experience. The role offers exposure to a wide range of technically challenging projects throughout the NYC area, working alongside experienced geotechnical engineers on complex construction and development projects.
The position is intentionally not purely office-based.
