The Boring Company builds safe, fast-to-dig, low-cost transportation, utility and freight tunnels — solving traffic with Loop, powered by the Prufrock tunnel boring machine. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you'll play a critical role in designing the underground infrastructure that powers some of the world's most ambitious tunneling projects. You'll lead the geotechnical design and analysis behind every tunnel we build in Las Vegas, while helping shape the standards and engineering approach for future projects across new cities.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Geology, Engineering Geology or related discipline
- 5+ years of tunnel inspection experience
- Position may require extended hours and weekend work
- Able to travel for short and extended trips as needed. Up to 20% travel
More about this role
The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
