Aspect Consulting, a Geosyntec Company, an earth science and engineering consulting firm, is seeking an experienced Geotechnical Engineer to join our growing Geotechnical and Infrastructure Practice in our Seattle, WA office. Aspect's geotechnical engineers tackle challenges on a variety of complex projects all over the northwest ranging from bridge replacements, landslide stabilization, transportation and roadway design, water and wastewater conveyance, reservoirs and dams, mid- and high-rise buildings, development within and near steep-slope sensitive areas, and floodplain and natural habitat restoration.

Senior Geotechnical Engineers at Aspect regularly interface directly with clients, execute work through the full project lifecycle from proposals to construction, guide innovative geotechnical designs, work alongside other highly experienced engineers, geologists, and other consultants, strategically pursue new work and opportunities, and mentor junior staff helping them navigate to early career success. This is a long-term, career track position with the ultimate goal to grow one's consulting practice through effective project delivery and client development.

Our geotechnical engineers are supported by a diverse and talented group of engineering geologists, hydrogeologists, water resource engineers, CAD/GIS professionals, and technical editors; conversely, our geotechnical engineers also support dynamic projects within Aspect's environmental and water resource practices.
