Mid-Level Geotechnical Engineer
Location: New York City Metro Area
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.
What You'll Work On
- Deep foundation systems and foundation recommendations
- Support of excavation and retaining structures
- Geotechnical investigations and subsurface exploration
- Geotechnical analysis, calculations and reporting
- Construction observation and field engineering
- Waterfront and marine-related projects
- High-rise and commercial developments
- Airports, stadiums, healthcare facilities and data centers
The position is intentionally not purely office-based. Field work remains an important part of the role, particularly for engineers who want to maintain a strong understanding of construction while developing their design capabilities.
Over time, there is a clear opportunity to take on more responsibility with design, client interaction and project management.
What We're Looking For
- 3-7 years of geotechnical engineering experience
- Strong field experience and understanding of geotechnical construction
- Interest in developing further into geotechnical design
- Experience with foundations, SOE, retaining walls, subsurface investigations or similar
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering or a related discipline
- PE license preferred, but not required
- Strong technical and communication skills
- Ability to work effectively in both field and office environments
Compensation & Benefits
- Approximately $90,000-$130,000+, depending on experience and qualifications.
- PE candidates may be considered at a higher level.
- The company offers a strong benefits package, professional development opportunities and a clear path for engineers who want to progress toward senior technical and project management positions.
Why you should apply
This is a good opportunity for someone who doesn't want to choose between field work and design. You can continue getting hands-on exposure to construction while developing the technical design experience needed to progress your career.
If you're a mid-level geotechnical engineer in the NYC area and are considering your next step, I'd be happy to speak with you confidentially about the role.
