What are the responsibilities and job description for the Geotechnical Engineer position at Envirotech Engineering WA?
We're a well-established geotechnical/civil engineering firm based in Shelton, WA, serving clients across Mason County and beyond including public-sector work as a Mason County Preferred Consultant. As we grow, we're looking for a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to join as our responsible-in-charge and help lead our technical work day to day.
This is a rare opportunity for an early-career PE to take real ownership not just execute projects, but help shape how the firm operates as it grows. You'll work directly alongside our existing technical team, including an engineer currently completing his own PE licensure, and have a direct hand in building processes, mentoring, and expanding what we're able to take on.
What You'll Do- Serve as the licensed PE of record (responsible-in-charge) for geotechnical/civil engineering projects
- Plan and oversee field investigations, and site explorations
- Review field data, boring logs, and lab results; prepare geotechnical engineering reports and proposals
- Review and stamp engineering reports, calculations, and client deliverables
- Respond to RFIs and review contractor submittals during construction phases
- Develop scopes of work and fee estimates for new and ongoing projects
- Mentor and collaborate with our existing technical team
- Build client relationships and represent the firm on site visits as needed
- Active PE license (Washington State required, or ability to obtain reciprocity quickly)
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (geotechnical focus preferred)
- Geotechnical and/or civil engineering experience
- Familiarity with Pacific Northwest soil and site conditions a plus
- Working knowledge of geotechnical analysis software and tools
- Valid driver's license as some site travel is required
- Comfortable taking ownership and building process, not just following one
- Strong communication skills client-facing and team-facing
- Local to the Shelton/Mason County area, or open to relocating; hybrid schedule available
- Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
- Hybrid work arrangement — mix of field and office time
- A genuine seat at the table in a growing firm — real influence over how we operate, not just a role to fill
- Opportunity to work alongside ownership actively building something new
- Established client base including public-sector work (Mason County Preferred Consultant list)
Salary Range: $70,000–$100,000/year
Location: Shelton, WA | Hybrid — field and office Job Type: Full-time
Why This Role Is Different- Most PE roles at larger firms mean being one of many engineers on a big team. Here, you'd be central to how the firm runs day to day — mentoring, building systems, and having a real say in the technical direction of the business as it grows.
