Careers in Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering Practice is comprised of consultants with a diverse technical background. A majority of our consultants possess a Ph.D. or M.S. degree in Civil Engineering or Geology and hold professional licenses from various states. We work together in a highly integrated manner within the practice and often work in a multidisciplinary setting with several other practices as well. In addition to the practice's technical consulting work, there is a large emphasis on professional development. Many of our consultants have held academic appointments at various universities and some continue to do so while at Exponent. Many of us are also involved in professional societies and task committees. Our consultants are very diligent about publishing their work in peer-reviewed publications. We also attend and give technical presentations at various conferences each year. Joining our practice would provide you the opportunity to work with an elite group of well-known individuals in the geotechnical and water resources engineering community.
