Job description

Project Geologist or Engineer

Campbell or Capitola, California


Why C2Earth is more than just a job

Imagine working at a firm that combines technical rigor, real-world impact, and deep respect for place. That's C2Earth. We're a privately held, majority Black-owned small business doing thoughtful, problem-solving engineering geology and geotechnical work throughout the greater San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas.


At C2Earth, you'll inherit a legacy: the reputation of Upp Geotechnology (founded in 1983) plus the innovative spark and commitment brought by our founders, Craig Reid and Chris Hundemer. We're more than "consultants" -- we're advisors, protectors, and enablers. Our work touches everything from safety (schools, hospitals, essential buildings) to beauty (coastal bluffs, parks) to infrastructure that supports thriving communities.


When you join us, you join a team with decades of combined experience, with project files going back to the early 1980s. We've seen it all -- small residential additions, complex slope stabilization, liquefaction hazards, coastal erosion, distressed buildings, and critical infrastructure. Whether it's solving for a retaining wall, a foundation, or a bluff subject to sea level rise, we don't just do the work -- we do it with care, precision, and purpose.


The Role: What You'll Do
  • Manage geotechnical and geologic projects from proposal through completion with oversight from senior staff.
  • Conduct field investigations including drilling, logging, sampling, geologic mapping, and construction observation.
  • Analyze soil, rock, and groundwater data to prepare technical evaluations and engineering recommendations.
  • Draft clear, well-organized reports, proposals, and correspondence for clients and regulatory agencies.
  • Coordinate with engineers, architects, contractors, and public officials to ensure effective project delivery.
  • Balance field and office work while developing project management and leadership skills.
Why You'll Love Working Here

Impact & Variety: You'll work on projects ranging from residential developments to critical infrastructure -- every week brings something new.

Career Growth: Direct mentorship from licensed Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers, with a clear path toward professional licensure.

Small Enough to Matter, Big Enough to Deliver: Your work will be visible, meaningful, and valued by both the team and our clients.

Integrity & Client Focus: We hold ourselves to the highest technical standards while balancing safety, cost, and constructability.

Culture of Ownership & Respect: As a minority-owned firm, we take pride in the way we serve our clients, our team, and our community.


What We're Looking For
  • A degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or Civil Engineering with a geotechnical focus.
  • 3-7 years of relevant professional experience in geotechnical or engineering geology consulting.
  • Progress toward California professional licensure (GIT, EIT, PG, PE, or CEG/GE) is preferred.
  • Strong field skills including soil/rock logging, geologic mapping, and construction observation.
  • Solid writing and communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Team-oriented mindset, curiosity, and initiative to take ownership of your work.
Perks & Practical Info

Location: Based in Campbell (San Francisco Bay Area) with a second office in Capitola serving Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay.

Compensation: Competitive salary and benefits package.

Flexibility: A healthy mix of office and field work to keep your career dynamic.

Growth: Support for licensure, continuing education, and building areas of specialization.

Project Diversity: Exposure to coastal, urban, hillside, and infrastructure projects across Northern California.


Join Us & Build Something Solid

If you're an early- to mid-career geologist or engineer who wants to work on meaningful projects, grow into greater responsibility, and be part of a firm that values quality and integrity, we want you on our team. At C2Earth, you'll do work that matters -- for clients, for communities, and for the land itself.
