Build Your Career on Solid Ground

At Christian Wheeler Engineering (CWE), we don’t just consult; we solve. From the iconic exhibits at SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo to major military improvements and commercial developments, our work shapes the landscape of Southern California.

We are looking for an ambitious GIT or Staff Geologist to join our geotechnical engineering team. If you’re a quick learner who wants a clear path toward professional licensure, we want to meet you.

What You’ll Do

As an entry-level geologist, you'll be the "eyes and ears" of our firm on-site and in the lab. You’ll gain hands-on experience by:

• Coordinating directly with superintendents and foremen to keep projects moving.
• Performing critical observations and sampling of soil, asphalt, and concrete.
• Assisting with geotechnical investigations and conducting specialized laboratory testing.
• Turning field data into professional reports that guide Southern California’s biggest developers and architects.

What You Bring to the Team

• A bachelor’s degree in geology from an accredited program.
• You’re not a PG yet but have the drive to become one (and we’ll help you get there!).
• Proficiency with MS Office; bonus points for AutoCAD or Bluebeam skills.
• Comfortable climbing ladders, walking roofs, and working at heights or in confined spaces.
• Sharp written and verbal skills with a knack for maintaining professionalism under pressure.
• A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record (you’ll be heading to sites across San Diego and beyond).

The CWE Advantage

We are a small, family-oriented firm that believes our people are our greatest investment. We work hard, but we prioritize a healthy work-life balance. We support a healthy, balanced life by providing big company benefits with a small firm feel:

• Financial Security: Competitive pay, 401(k) with company contribution and profit-sharing potential, and company-paid life and long-term disability insurance.
• Health & Wellness: Choice of medical and dental plans, vision plan, employee assistance program, flexible spending account, dependent care reimbursement account, and health savings account (HSA) with company match.
• Time to Recharge: Paid holidays and a generous PTO policy.
