Geotechnical Engineer

Geotechnical Engineer | NYC | Lead Urban Foundations & Shape the Ground Beneath the City

You want more than just data and diagrams—you want to shape the foundation of cities. If you're an experienced Geotechnical Engineer with a track record in urban ground investigation, foundation design, and subsurface construction oversight, this is a chance to step into a technically rich and community-driven role.

Here’s what I can promise: This Geotechnical Engineer opportunity gives you full exposure—from field investigations to design to construction monitoring—on high-profile, complex projects across NYC and the surrounding region. You’ll work alongside civil, structural, and environmental experts to create resilient infrastructure where it matters most.

What You’ll Be Doing (and Leading):

  • Conduct and oversee geotechnical explorations including borings, CPTs, and test pits across NYC and the Tri-State area

  • Design and execute field and lab testing programs with precision and purpose

  • Prepare detailed geotechnical reports, design analyses, and foundation recommendations using tools like AutoCAD, gINT, APile, LPile, and more

  • Perform calculations for deep foundations, slope stability, settlement, and ground improvement techniques

  • Oversee Special Inspections during construction: subgrade prep, density testing, underpinning, and SOE

  • Act as a trusted project manager across multiple assignments—on time, on budget, and always technically sound

What You’ll Bring:

  • 8–12 years of geotechnical engineering experience with a focus on foundation systems and construction oversight

  • Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering (Master’s with Geotechnical focus is a plus)

  • EIT required; PE preferred (or ability to obtain NYS PE within 6 months)

  • Software-savvy with tools like gINT, PLAXIS, GRLWEAP, Shake 2000, and Slide

  • Willingness to travel across NY, NJ, CT, and Long Island

  • OSHA 10/HAZWOPER a plus, especially for field-heavy roles

This Geotechnical Engineer role will challenge you technically, engage you across disciplines, and elevate your career in a way few firms can. If you want your work to stand the test of time—literally from the ground up—this is your next move.
