As a Civil Environmental Engineering Forensic Expert, you will:

  • Investigate civil environmental engineering incidents.
  • Analyze procedures, applying your comprehensive knowledge of standards and practices.

  • Collaborate with highly respected experts.
  • Continuously learn and grow.
  • Make a tangible difference.

  • Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.
  • Aptitude: Strong ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, objective evidence for non-technical audiences.
  • Work Style: Approximately 20% travel for inspections; the remainder is focused on analysis and report drafting, working independently and as part of a collaborative team.
