Staff / Project Engineer – NDT/NDE & Engineering Geophysics

Pay: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Work on challenging infrastructure projects involving bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, pavements, foundations, and other civil structures.
• Build specialized expertise in nondestructive evaluation (NDE/NDT) and engineering geophysics while working alongside experienced technical professionals.
• Get hands-on exposure to advanced technologies including Impact Echo, Ultrasonic Testing, Ground Penetrating Radar, Surface Waves, Structural Health Monitoring, and more.
• Enjoy a strong mix of fieldwork, technical analysis, report writing, and client interaction rather than being tied to a desk.
• Gain experience on projects across the U.S. and occasionally internationally, with opportunities to expand your engineering skill set.
• Receive a comprehensive benefits package including company-paid health coverage, retirement matching, paid time off, and paid holidays.

Location:

Wheat Ridge, CO or Rockville, MD — on-site. The role includes approximately 25% to 40% fieldwork and occasional travel for local, national, and international projects.

Note:

A Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Geophysics and at least 1 year of directly relevant NDE/NDT and/or engineering geophysics experience are required. Candidates with an oil and gas background will not be considered.
