Job Description & How to Apply Below
They are a fast-growing geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing firm founded in 2023. In just three years, they have expanded from a solo operation to a 22-person team working on multifamily projects across the U.S. Their client base is national, and their work spans diverse geologies-from volcanic rock in Utah to sinkholes in Florida.
They're lean, agile, and profitable from day one thanks to strong relationships with major developers. Their team is self-driven, collaborative, and values autonomy. Everyone has their own office, and they don't micromanage - they care about results, not clock-ins.

- Coordinate with local drillers to collect samples and manage logistics
- Analyze soil samples and prepare geotechnical reports from our Tennessee lab
- Collaborate with our internal engineering team and clients to deliver timely, high-quality work
- Work on a variety of projects - no two sites are the same
- Lead geotechnical investigations including field exploration, laboratory testing, and data analysis.
- Design foundations, retaining structures, slope stability solutions, and ground improvement systems.
- Prepare and review geotechnical reports, specifications, and construction documents.
- Provide technical mentorship to junior staff and support their professional development.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on transportation, commercial, and municipal projects.
- Interface with clients, regulatory agencies, and contractors to ensure project success.
- Support business development efforts through proposal writing and client engagement.
- 2-6 years of geotechnical experience
- PE license is a plus but not required
- Strong field logging and report writing skills
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule
- Not looking to manage people - just solid technical execution
- Curious and adaptable - excited to work across different geologies and regions
- Self-motivated and reliable - they don't babysit
- Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage
- Short-term disability
- 401(k) with matching: 100% up to 3%, 50% up to 4%
- Flexible work environment with autonomy and trust
- Opportunity to grow with a company that's scaling fast
