Job description

At AKS, we are growing and building for the future. We bring together multidisciplined experts across the land development, energy, and infrastructure markets to take on bigger challenges and deliver solutions that make a real difference. Our teams combine creativity, technical excellence, and a collaborative, hands-on approach to solve complex problems and deliver results our clients and communities can count on. We take pride in our work and our ability to provide opportunities for our teams, support each other's growth, and look ahead to what's next. When you join AKS, you will find opportunities to take ownership of meaningful projects, learn, lead, and make an impact from day one.
We are seeking an experienced Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG) to support and expand our geological services within the Geotechnical Engineering team. This role will focus on technical leadership, project delivery, client support, and service growth for projects throughout the pacific northwest.
What You'll Do
  • Serve as a senior technical resource for geological and engineering geology services on land development and public improvement projects.
  • Perform and oversee geological evaluations including site reconnaissance, geologic hazard assessments, subsurface interpretation, grading feasibility evaluations, and site suitability analyses.
  • Prepare, review, and contribute to geological and geotechnical reports, technical memoranda, exhibits, and recommendations. Interpret subsurface data (borings, test pits, CPTs, field mapping) and collaborate with geotechnical engineers to support design and permitting.
  • Provide expert input related to soils, rock, groundwater conditions, slope stability, seismic hazards, and earthwork constraints.
  • Collaborate with civil engineering, land use planning, surveying, and natural resources teams to deliver integrated project solutions.
  • Participate in project kickoff meetings, internal coordination efforts, and client meetings to represent geological considerations.
  • Perform site visits and field observations to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions.
  • Support business development efforts by contributing to proposals, scopes of work, fee estimates, and technical approaches.
  • Assist in identifying opportunities to expand geological services within existing and new land development clients.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, regulators, and project partners as a trusted technical advisor.
  • Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior staff and project teams.
Who You Are
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Geology, Engineering Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related field.
  • Hold Oregon certifications as a Registered Geologist (RG) and Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG) required.
  • 5 or more years of experience in geology or geotechnical consulting, preferably supporting land development projects.
  • Strong understanding of geologic hazards, soil and rock behavior, groundwater conditions, and regulatory requirements.
  • Proven experience preparing and reviewing technical reports and communicating findings to clients and agencies.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary consulting environment.
  • You have a "Do what needs to be done" mindset, taking ownership beyond assigned tasks and stepping in wherever needed to keep projects, teams, and customers supported and running smoothly.
Nice To Have
  • Experience working on land development projects in the Pacific Northwest.
  • Familiarity with local jurisdiction permitting and review processes.
  • Experience with GIS, subsurface data management tools, and geotechnical/geologic analysis software.
  • Interest in contributing to service growth and technical advancement without formal people management.
