Senior Geo-Structural Engineer

Structural / Geotechnical Design Engineer (Design-Build)

Fully Remote | Large-Scale Projects | True Work-Life Balance

The Opportunity

This is a chance to join a high-growth, design-build engineering firm delivering complex foundation and structural solutions on large-scale projects across the U.S.-with a particular focus on data centers and stadium developments.

You'll be working on technically challenging, high-impact projects while being part of a team that is intentionally built around flexibility, long-term career growth, and quality of life-not burnout.


Why This Role Stands Out

🏗 Work on Landmark-Scale Projects

  • Lead and support design/build solutions for:
    • Data centers (fastest growing infrastructure sector in the U.S.)
    • Major stadium projects
    • Large-scale infrastructure works
  • Exposure to:
    • Support of Excavation (SOE)
    • Micropiles, caissons, and deep foundation systems
    • Temporary and permanent retaining structures
  • Be involved from concept design through construction execution

⚖️ True Flexibility & Work-Life Balance (Core Selling Point)

  • Fully remote environment
  • True 40-hour work week - not just a tagline
  • No micromanagement - work when it suits you, as long as deliverables are met
  • Leadership actively promotes balance:
    • Logs off at 5pm
    • Builds schedules around family commitments
  • Ideal for engineers who want:
    • Time with family
    • Flexibility in their day-to-day life
    • A sustainable long-term career

This is not a "grind" culture - it's built for longevity


📈 Rapid Growth & Strong Financial Backing

  • Division revenue growth:
    • ~$4-5M → $45M in just 6 years
  • Consistent ~10% year-on-year company growth
  • Backed by significant investment in:
    • Equipment (drilling rigs, specialty systems)
    • Technology and delivery capability
  • Strong forward pipeline driven by infrastructure + data center demand

A small, agile team with big-project exposure and strong financial momentum


🚀 Multiple Career Paths - You're Not Locked In

As a design-build firm, you're not siloed into one lane.

You'll have the opportunity to shape your career in multiple directions:

  • Design / Technical Specialist
  • Construction / Project Management
  • Sales Engineering / Preconstruction
  • Client-facing commercial roles

Engineers are intentionally exposed to:

  • Field work
  • Design
  • Client interaction
  • Budget ownership

The goal: develop you into a complete, well-rounded engineer-not just a CAD operator


🧠 Mentorship From Top Engineers in the U.S.

  • Work directly alongside highly respected senior engineers
  • Learn from professionals who have:
    • Delivered major infrastructure projects
    • Built divisions from the ground up
  • Hands-onmentorship - not just oversight:
    • Real-time problem solving
    • Exposure to decision-making and technical risk

You'll accelerate your development faster than in traditional consulting environments


The Role

You'll play a key part in delivering design-build projects across both engineering and construction phases. The role is quite flexible depending on what section you would like to go into. This means if you prefer calculations then you can work in pre-construction vs if you want to be more hands on you can work on the construction side or a mix of both, you can mold your own career path here.

Typical Responsibilities

  • Contribute to design of:
    • SOE systems, deep foundations, and retaining structures
  • Support field activities and site coordination
  • Collaborate with construction teams on constructability and execution
  • Assist in client-facing activities, budgeting, and proposals (as you progress)
  • Work cross-functionally across engineering, construction, and preconstruction teams

What We're Looking For

  • Background in geotechnical or structural engineering
  • Experience in:
    • Foundations, retaining structures, or SOE (preferred)
    • Construction exposure is highly valued
  • Mindset:
    • Adaptable and eager to learn
    • Interested in becoming a well-rounded engineer
    • Values balance and long-term career development

✅ Strong fit for someone who wants career flexibility + lifestyle, not just chasing compensation


Who This Is Perfect For

  • Engineers who want to work on large-scale projects without sacrificing their personal life
  • Professionals looking to break out of a siloed design role
  • Individuals who want mentorship + multiple career pathways
  • Anyone who values flexibility, autonomy, and long-term growth

Final Thought

If your priority is maximizing earnings at the expense of time, this likely isn't the right fit.

If your priority is:

  • Working on major projects
  • Having real flexibility
  • Building a well-rounded, future-proof career

…this is one of the most compelling opportunities in the market today.
