About US
At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firm—not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head-to-head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close-knit team. Our size and hands-on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers—without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.
A typical day on the job might look like:
- Provide technical support on a wide variety of geotechnical, materials and environmental projects, including the preparation and supervision of field programs, data collection, data analysis, technical report writing, and proposal preparation.
- Design and conduct field investigations, including soils/rock drilling and logging, test pit logging, soil and bedrock characterization, monitoring well and other instrument tasks/installation, etc., as well as associated field coordination and sub-contractor coordination.
- Assisting intermediate and senior staff in performing design and analytical functions on projects involving slope/embankment stability, retaining walls, seepage, drainage, settlement analysis, shallow and deep foundations, dams, contaminated sites, and landfills.
- Construction inspection and field testing and sampling of soil, aggregates, concrete, asphalt, and groundwater.
- Measuring and recording field data using equipment, such as water quality meters, water level meters, oil/water interface probes, photoionization detectors, data loggers, GPS and survey gear, etc.
- Producing detailed documentation of field conditions, measurements and observations to aid in the preparation of client deliverables (drawings/site plans, borehole/monitoring well logs, photo logs, written reports, etc.).
- Assisting in preparation of proposals and technical deliverables (e.g., geotechnical investigations, geotechnical design and analysis, geotechnical inspections, materials testing and construction inspection etc.).
- Various office and field tasks related to geotechnical engineering, materials testing/engineering and environmental engineering.
