Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Take ownership of geotechnical projects from initial investigation through final recommendations and construction support
  • Grow into a meaningful project management role with direct client exposure and increasing independence
  • Work on technically interesting Southern California projects involving hillside properties, coastal sites, slope stability, retaining structures, foundations, and development
  • Join a collaborative, growing team where engineers stay closely involved with their projects instead of being limited to a narrow production role
  • Build valuable experience while progressing toward California PE licensure

Location: Newport Beach, CA. This is a hybrid opportunity for a Southern California based engineer who is comfortable traveling to project sites throughout the region, primarily Orange County with occasional work from Los Angeles through North San Diego County.

Note: Candidates must have 3+ years of geotechnical consulting or engineering experience, including Southern California experience, an active EIT certification, a B.S. in Civil Engineering or a related engineering discipline, and be actively working toward California PE licensure. You should also be ready to independently manage a geotechnical investigation from planning through completion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
