Mid to Sr. Level Geotechnical Engineer

SHN’s northern California and southern Oregon footprint covers one of the most dynamic geologic environments in the country. Designing and building within this environment demands a special blend of knowledge and field experience that SHN’s geosciences team has grown over 40 years. No project is the same, and our work challenges us every day, to apply our expertise and bring value to our communities.

The SHN Geosciences Team

HN is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic geotechnical engineer who wants to be a part of a well-established team of geologists and engineers. Our Senior Geotechnical Engineer is nearing retirement and we are looking to fill in the gap, and build on our geotechnical engineering within the Geosciences Group. The work will include working with established senior and staff geologists. SHN currently employs 10 geologists, of whom 5 are Senior Engineering Geologists, and 11 materials testing technicians and special inspectors supporting three fully accredited materials testing laboratories, located in Eureka and Willits, CA, and in Coos Bay, OR. One of the things we enjoy is seeing projects develop from concept through construction. Many of our geologists and engineers work collaboratively with our laboratory testing and special inspection staff to support projects during the construction phase.
