"I joined Exponent right after completing my Ph.D. and I find it fascinating. I work on interesting, challenging and multidisciplinary projects over a wide variety of subjects within the environmental field and beyond - projects that I would not have the opportunity to work on at any other consulting firm. My colleagues are top-notch scientists and engineers who are wonderful to work with on a daily basis. Since I started working at Exponent, I have not stopped learning."

Senior Engineer

"Exponent has been a great place for me to fast-track my career in environmental consulting. After finishing my Ph.D. and Postdoc, I worked as a subcontractor for the EPA and then joined a small consulting firm. However I continued to search for a place that would satisfy my ambitions. After joining Exponent, I became part of a consulting team working on high profile environmental cases with a support system that allowed me to directly interact with clients and gave me great market visibility. Exponent's offices throughout the US and Europe provide a geographical outreach to projects unmatched by other firms. In addition, being associated with internationally recognized consultants, together with hard work, has allowed me to be on a career track to meet my long-term goals.
