Key Responsibilities
Serve as Geologist‑of‑Record on geotechnical and engineering geology assignments.
Oversee and conduct subsurface investigations (soil borings, test pits, rock/soil sampling, geologic mapping) for foundation design, grading, slope stability, and site development.
Perform geologic hazard assessments (landslides, faulting, subsidence), seismic hazard and fault‑zone studies, hydrogeological investigations, seismic refraction/remote‑sensing surveys, and soil/rock rippability assessments when required.
Provide geologic and geotechnical engineering reports, recommendations for foundations, earthworks, slope stability, retaining structures, and ground improvement or stabilization strategies.
Provide construction observation and geologic oversight during grading, excavation, and foundation installation, including quality‑control testing and compliance monitoring (soil/rock mechanics, compaction, settlement evaluations, etc.).
Coordinate with civil/structural engineers, project managers, clients, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders throughout project lifecycle.
Required Qualifications
Active California Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG) license – REQUIRED.
B.S. or M.S. in Geology, Engineering Geology, or a closely related discipline.
7+ years of professional experience in geotechnical engineering and/or engineering geology.
Demonstrated experience with subsurface investigations, soil/rock mechanics, foundation and earthwork design support, slope stability, seismic hazard analysis, and geologic hazard assessments.
Strong technical writing, analysis, communication, and leadership skills.
Valid California driver’s license with acceptable driving record.
Preferred Experience
Expertise in hazard‑zone evaluations: landslide risk, fault rupture, liquefaction, subsidence, and seismic hazard assessments.
Experience with coastal and waterfront geotechnical/coastal engineering projects (shoreline/bluff analysis, erosion control, pile/pier/waterfront structure support).
Familiarity with field‑exploration methods, remote‑sensing, seismic refraction, hydrogeological studies, and on‑site laboratory testing for soils/rock materials.
Experience preparing geologic hazard reports, consulting, or expert services for clients including private developers, municipalities, and public‑works projects.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience and credentials.
Incentive/performance bonuses.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
Paid time off and holidays.
