Pros
Work is not challenging. Anybody can get up to speed in specific roles within 3 months. I specifically did concrete testing, lab testing, geotechnical investigations, and airport inspections. Better pay than competitors based on word of mouth. Typical work week 45 hours. Sometimes under 40. Rarely under 35. Sometimes over 50, rarely over 55. Theres a high emphasis on quality.
Cons
Field engineers with an EIT license should look to move on to better paying roles. Your ability to grow is limited in these Geotech firms.
