Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers (MRCE) is looking to hire geotechnical engineers that are looking for an opportunity to start and grow their career with a leading engineering consulting company in Washington, DC. Be a part of a team working on the most dynamic and challenging building projects in the US!
An entry level geotechnical engineer is asked to apply their academic training to support MRCE projects in many ways. A primary responsibility is definition of subsurface conditions through inspection of test borings and test pits, performing field tests, and interfacing with the MRCE in-house soil mechanics laboratory to define materials and design parameters. Entry level geotechnical engineers are asked to define subsurface conditions, prepare data exhibits, and perform a variety of analysis tasks. This experience develops geotechnical skills and is fundamental to career growth. In addition, geotechnical engineers are expected to obtain experience with construction means and methods by performing construction inspection services.
MRCE projects expose geotechnical engineers to a broad range of geotechnical challenges, present an opportunity to learn from experienced peers, and meet challenges of responsible engineering roles. MRCE will combine your academic training with engineering responsibility to give you solid engineering experience and mature technical skills. This is a unique opportunity to grow in your career with an accomplished engineering team. These experiences provide a full understanding of high-tech design and real-world construction requirements.
