Associate Engineer II - Geotech Construction
About The Position
GeoStabilization International (GSI) is the market leader in geohazard mitigation, protecting people and critical infrastructure from landslides, rockfall, and ground instability. We operate where failure is not an option - emergency slope failures, constrained right-of-way construction, and technically complex geotechnical challenges. This is not a commodity engineering environment. We design and build bespoke solutions under real-world constraints, often in extreme terrain, accelerated schedules, and high-risk conditions. Outcomes matter here. We are deliberately building a bench of engineers who can scale - technically, operationally, and eventually as Project Managers, Technical Directors, and Regional Leaders. As an Associate Engineer II, you will be a core contributor across the full lifecycle of geohazard mitigation projects - from concept through construction close-out. You will partner with senior engineers, project managers, and technical sales leaders to design economical, constructible, and defensible solutions for some of the most challenging slope stability and ground improvement problems in North America. This role is designed for engineers who want field credibility, client exposure, and increasing technical ownership, not just desk-based analysis.
Requirements
- B.S. in Civil Engineering
- 2+ years of relevant geotechnical or structural engineering experience.
- Minimum EIT required.
- Proficiency with Word, Excel, and AutoCAD.
- Familiarity with slope stability and limit equilibrium software.
- Ability to work in physically demanding environments and all weather conditions.
- Willingness to travel up to ~30%.
- Comfortable working from field locations, truck-based setups, or home office as needed.
Nice To Haves
- M.S. in Civil Engineering.
- PE licensure preferred.
- Rocscience software experience preferred (Geostudio or other limit equilibrium software familiarity likely translatable).
Responsibilities
- Develop and analyze geotechnical and structural solutions for slope stability, rockfall mitigation, ground improvement, difficult-access shoring, and foundations.
- Perform engineering analyses including slope stability modeling, rockfall simulation, mechanical stabilization design, and foundation analysis.
- Prepare clear, defensible calculation packages suitable for peer review, permitting, and construction.
- Conduct site reconnaissance in steep, rugged terrain, including rope access and rappelling when required.
- Provide field engineering support, construction observation, QA/QC testing, quantity tracking, and as-built documentation.
- Translate design intent into practical execution - adjusting in real time as field conditions evolve.
- Critically review plans and specifications; develop take-offs, estimates, and constructability input.
- Support proposals and bids in coordination with Project Management and Business Development teams.
- Communicate directly with clients, earning trust through technical clarity and responsiveness.
- Partner across engineering, project management, operations, and sales to drive continuous improvement.
- Support internal research and development initiatives that advance GSI’s technical edge.
- Represent GSI at industry events, conferences, and technical presentations.
Benefits
- Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled
- Mental health benefits
- 401(k) plan to help save for your future including company match
- In addition to 7 observed holidays, salaried team members have flexible paid time off
- Paid parental leave
