Geotechnical Project Engineer

Remote Geotechnical Design Engineer - U.S. Based (Full-Time)

Location: Remote (Must reside in the United States)
Position: Geotechnical Design Engineer
Schedule: Fully Remote with Flexible Hours

About the Role

We are seeking a motivated Geotechnical Design Engineer to support the continued expansion of innovative ground improvement and foundation system solutions across the Midwest. In this role, you will provide geotechnical analysis, design support, and technical guidance for a diverse range of commercial, industrial, transportation, and infrastructure projects.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who wants to combine technical depth with client interaction, all within a high‑energy, innovation‑driven environment-without the constraints of a large corporate structure.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform geotechnical analysis and design for ground improvement and foundation systems.
  • Analyze soil data, develop design recommendations, and prepare technical calculations.
  • Support project teams during feasibility assessments, proposal development, and solution optimization.
  • Collaborate with contractors, owners, and engineering partners to implement effective geotechnical solutions.
  • Prepare detailed design packages, reports, and engineering documentation.
  • Provide technical support during construction, including review of field conditions and design adjustments.
  • Engage in continuous learning regarding new products, methods, and technologies in geotechnical engineering.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering; Master's degree preferred.
  • 2-5+ years of geotechnical engineering experience.
  • FE or PE licensure (or ability to obtain PE within a reasonable timeframe).
  • Strong understanding of soil mechanics, foundation design, settlement analysis, and geotechnical modeling software.
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort working with contractors and project stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote setting while collaborating effectively with a distributed team.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

  • Backed by a multi‑billion‑dollar Fortune 500 leader: Enjoy the stability, resources, and long‑term security of a major parent organization-without the layers of red tape.
  • Agile, innovative engineering culture: Work in a small, specialized team focused on creativity, speed, and technical excellence rather than corporate bureaucracy.
  • Structured long‑term development: Benefit from formal training programs, hands-on mentorship, and clear pathways for career advancement.
  • Fully remote with high flexibility: Manage your schedule with autonomy while contributing to major ground improvement initiatives across the Midwest.
  • High-impact engineering: Your work directly supports complex and challenging projects where innovative geotechnical solutions make a measurable difference.
