We are seeking a Geotechnical Laboratory Technical Director to oversee daily operations in a fully accredited lab serving clients across more than 40 states. This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role where you’ll manage a talented team, ensure top-tier quality standards, and continue a tradition of flawless technical audits spanning two decades.

This role is 100% laboratory-based – no fieldwork, no constant travel, just the chance to focus on technical precision and leadership in a supportive, professional environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage all aspects of laboratory operations, including staff supervision, scheduling, equipment calibration, and resource planning.
  • Oversee a wide range of geotechnical and construction materials testing, such as:
    • Proctor, Atterberg Limits, grain size analysis
    • Unconfined compression, CU and UU triaxial, Direct Shear
    • Permeability, consolidation, CBR, and soil-cement testing
  • Ensure full compliance with ASTM, AASHTO, GDOT, and internal QMS standards.
  • Maintain accreditations, certifications, and proficiency testing requirements (AASHTO, USACE, GA DOT).
  • Drive quality assurance and safety protocols, guaranteeing strict adherence to QA/QC manuals approved by federal agencies.
  • Train, mentor, and evaluate laboratory staff to foster technical excellence and professional growth.
  • Prepare for and lead both internal and external audits with confidence.
  • Collaborate directly with clients, providing technical insights, project support, and customer-focused service.
  • Support business operations through effective reporting, documentation, and—ideally—QuickBooks invoice generation.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or related discipline (Master’s preferred).
  • 8+ years of experience in geotechnical or construction materials testing, with proven leadership in a laboratory environment.
  • In-depth knowledge of ASTM and AASHTO standards, as well as state DOT requirements.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to manage, motivate, and develop a technical team.
  • High attention to detail and proven ability to manage audits with zero deficiencies.
  • Proficiency in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); QuickBooks knowledge highly desirable.
  • PE license (Professional Engineer) preferred but not required.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary package ($95,000 – $120,000) plus benefits.
  • The opportunity to lead a nationally recognized, fully accredited laboratory with one of the best audit records in the industry.
  • Direct mentorship and transition support from a highly respected industry professional.
  • A collaborative, flexible, and professional work environment with a strong emphasis on quality and customer service.
  • Long-term career stability in a company with 20+ years of success.

This is your chance to shape the future of an established geotechnical laboratory while maintaining its reputation for technical excellence. If you are a motivated, detail-driven leader with a passion for geotechnical testing, we’d love to hear from you.
