To support our North American team, we are looking for a Geotechnical Engineer to join us. You will be working on exciting infrastructure projects across the Offshore Wind market sectors, along with our highly professional team that provides technical expertise, design leadership, project management, and specialized engineering expertise.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

On top of that, you will:

• Hold an M.S. or higher degree in Geotechnical Engineering, focusing on the design of foundations, along with 5 to 10 years’ experience working as a geotechnical engineer
• Possess a Professional Engineering Licensure (P.E.) or can obtain the same within 12 months of employment
