On a typical day, you may analyze geological data, prepare reports, conduct fieldwork to collect samples, and work with engineers, environmental scientists, or project managers to deliver practical solutions. The role often combines time in the office with site visits, offering variety and hands-on experience. Collaboration and adaptability are key, as you’ll navigate differing client needs, project deadlines, and regulatory requirements. This dynamic environment provides opportunities to continually develop technical expertise and leadership skills.

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.
