Careers in Houston, TX
Ulrich Engineers, Inc. offers professional opportunities for a range of qualified individuals, including entry-level engineers, and those with experience beyond formal training. Available careers may focus on a technical project role with applied research, eventually leading to the development of a project group and team leader position. The technical focus is oriented more toward the engineer or geologist who prefers to concentrate on individual projects, instead of a department leading role. Opportunity is limited only to the imagination and commitment of the engineer or geologist.
Most projects involve a combination of soil mechanics, foundation assessments, and geologic assignments. We participate in the construction of structures ranging from average-sized residences, to tall buildings with braced excavations. Challenges our team frequently encounters include producing simple reports that clients can understand, preparing contract documents for construction processes, and creating the designs associated with construction engineering. Working closely with experienced professional engineers, you will grow professionally in leaps and bounds over a short time period at our firm.
