Regional Sales Consultant (various locations)
Position requires continual travel, network building with local, state and federal government offices, private sector marketing, and creative new solutions for geotechnical problems. Will include project management of more complex projects.
Position requires thorough knowledge of geologic and geotechnical principles involved with landslides, retaining wall failures, use of lightweight fill, construction of reinforced soils, and basic soil nailing and tieback technologies. Of particular interest are Geotechnical Engineers who have the ability to come up with creative engineered solutions to problems rather than simply following the steps outlined in a technical manual.
