Geotechnical Engineer

Dig deeper. Build smarter. Deliver with impact.

At MC Squared, we don’t just analyze what's underground — we engineer what's possible. We’re searching for a Geotechnical Engineer ready to push boundaries and bring next-level insight to infrastructure projects that shape communities.

If you’re sharp, curious, and confident in your geotechnical know-how, this is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and grow with a high-performing team.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be at the forefront of high-impact geotechnical projects — turning complex subsurface conditions into smart, buildable solutions. Key responsibilities include:

• Own project execution — from field exploration to laboratory testing, analysis, and final reporting.

• Drive design-stage success by performing critical evaluations (slope stability, shallow/deep foundations, pile capacity, wall systems, pavement design, and more).

• Support construction with field inspections and problem-solving during active build phases.

• Prepare technical proposals and detailed reports that meet client expectations and internal quality standards.

• Bring innovation to the table. Provide advanced, practical, and value-added engineering solutions.

• Maintain project excellence. Promote continuous quality checks and proactively resolve technical issues.

• Prioritize safety. Follow and promote all field and site safety protocols.

• Collaborate internally and externally. Communicate effectively with teammates, PMs, clients, and stakeholders.

• Respond to RFPs and contribute to MC Squared’s growing geotechnical footprint.

• Stay flexible. Take on additional tasks as assigned by your department leader.

What You Bring

Education:

• MS or PhD in Civil Engineering with a focus on Geotechnical Engineering.

Experience:

• 5 years of hands-on geotechnical project experience.

• Strong background in:

  • Shallow and deep foundation analysis (bearing capacity, settlement, axial/lateral loading).

  • Slope stability evaluations and wall foundation design.

  • Pavement design and soil behavior assessments.

• Experience with geotechnical software: FB-Deep, LPILE, GRLWEAP, APILE, FB-Multipier, GeoStudio, etc.

• Previous work on heavy civil infrastructure projects (preferred but not required).

Skills & Traits:

• Clear, confident communicator — both written and verbal.

• Exceptional problem-solving skills and analytical mindset.

• Well-organized, efficient, and reliable — especially under pressure.

• Safety-first approach to fieldwork and design reviews.

• A team player who also thrives independently.

Certifications

• PE license is required, or the ability to obtain one within a mutually agreed-upon timeframe.

• Active participation in professional engineering associations is a plus.
