RPM Engineering is an expanding small business focused on Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Material Testing. We are an established firm with over 60 years experience between our leadership team. RPM Engineering is located in West Deptford, NJ. We are seeking to add multiple full-time Geotechnical Specialists to our growing team, specifically to work on the New Jersey Wind Port project.

Due to the volume of work occurring on-site at the New Jersey Wind Port, RPM is seeking qualified and experience candidates to oversee various construction activities.  The Geotechnical Specialist will be responsible for conducting on-site construction phase observation and materials testing for task such as deep and shallow foundation construction, ground improvement, earthwork, and concrete placement.
