Career Development

At GeoEngineers, we take you through an in-depth new hire orientation and follow it up with extensive on-the-job training to make sure that you start off on a solid foundation for your career growth.

Once you’re on your way, we strongly encourage continuing professional growth and development throughout your career via professional registration, professional association activities and attendance at conventions and conferences. Just to name a few!

Internally, our Business of Professional Consulting (BPC) program helps employees advance within their careers by reinforcing key factors that lead to success in the consulting field. The program consists of a series of on-the-job technical, project management and senior-level leadership training programs designed to assist our staff in their career development.

We are also committed to your continuing education. Employees are eligible for tuition assistance for career-related courses.

Balance

We work hard to provide world-class service–inside and out. We also work hard to make sure that our employees are able to have a life outside of the office. We promote balance in the lives of our employees by:

• Providing our staff with a supportive and flexible work environment that enables them to fulfill obligations on and off the job;

• Organizing group expeditions to make the most of the great outdoors–hiking, camping, biking, rafting and snowshoeing to name a few; and

• Supporting our employees in their individual pursuits, ranging from races and other competitions to personal journeys and explorations.

The personal balance our employees achieve translates to a strong, productive team environment on the job.

Diversity

We’re all different, spanning a multitude of backgrounds, languages and experiences. But we all have one thing in common: A passion to find a better way to do what we do and to improve the world around us. We believe that everyone has something valuable to offer and that the differences among us only make us stronger and more capable of competing in today’s ever-changing global marketplace. We respect each other. We learn from each other. We grow together.

Community Outreach

We’re proud that our employees care for their communities and volunteer their personal time to help community-based organizations succeed. We’ve found that employees that donate time to one organization actually volunteer with one or more others as well, spanning both professional interests and personal causes. 57% of our staff engage in philanthropic outreach, 21% participate in numerous professional efforts and 22% devote their time to various business and environmental pursuits. Where will your passion take you?

Sustainability

Our technical specialists work every day with clients looking to make the most of their resources, optimize existing systems and return land to more beneficial use. GeoEngineers’ expertise in earth systems ideally positions us to help clients address sustainability issues, and all our staff have an opportunity to make a difference in this important arena.
