A Rockfall job typically involves assessing, managing, and mitigating the risks associated with falling rocks on slopes, cliffs, or construction sites. Professionals in this field work to ensure safety by implementing protective measures such as barriers, netting, or controlled rock removal. These jobs are common in industries like geology, civil engineering, and construction, often requiring specialized knowledge of terrain stability and hazard mitigation techniques.
Rockfall Technicians commonly work outdoors on rugged terrain, including construction sites, highways, and mountainous regions, where they assess and mitigate rockfall hazards. Daily responsibilities include site inspections, collecting geological data, installing rockfall barriers or netting, and preparing detailed reports for project managers or engineers. Technicians frequently collaborate with geologists, civil engineers, and safety teams to develop and implement protection plans. The role may require travel to remote sites and a high emphasis on safety practices. This dynamic work environment provides hands-on experience and opportunities to specialize in geotechnical risk management.
To thrive in a Rockfall Technician role, you need a strong background in geology, civil engineering, and hazard mitigation, often supported by a relevant degree or field experience. Familiarity with geotechnical assessment tools, rockfall simulation software, and certifications such as rope access (IRATA/SPRAT) are highly valued. Excellent teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and clear communication are essential soft skills for fieldwork and collaboration with engineering teams. These skills are vital for ensuring safety, effective risk assessment, and implementation of mitigation measures in often challenging outdoor environments.

Licensed Engineering Geologist / Geotechnical Engineer
Campbell or Capitola, California
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.
Impact & Variety: From small residential projects to large public infrastructure or essential buildings, you'll face a wide range of challenges that keep you learning.
Small Enough to Matter, Big Enough to Deliver: As a small-business, your contributions are visible and valued. You'll often be more than just a cog -- you'll lead, you'll shape, you'll see the outcome.
Professional Growth: You'll be surrounded by licensed professionals with strong backgrounds. Mentorship is built in.
Integrity & Client Focus: We don't cut corners. We value doing the right thing -- high-quality technical work, responsiveness, timelines, and balancing safety, cost, and constructability.
A Culture of Ownership & Respect: As a minority-owned firm, there's a sense of mission and responsibility in how we show up -- to our clients, our staff, and the land.
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: Opportunities for a mix of field and office work with room for balance.
Growth: Professional development support and the chance to build your own areas of specialization.
Project Diversity: Work on technically interesting, socially important, and geographically varied sites.
If you're someone who cares about what lies beneath -- the soil, the rock, the transformations of earth -- and how those ground truths interact with human structures, we want you on our team. At C2Earth, you'll help move communities forward, make safe and reliable buildings possible, and leave your mark in both small and grand ways.
