CEA - Solid Foundations: How Hannah Thomas Crushes It as a Geotechnical Engineer

If you think Geotech Engineers only “play in the dirt,” think again! The field has many paths you can choose, from field work to office work…all the way to sales and software! 😲. In this episode, I chat with Hannah Thomas, who’s done it all in the field, to help you find out whether the Geotech route is right for you and what you can do if you go into it, but also how to find the career that’s a good fit….based on how she found out hers. 😉


Tune in to Learn:

  • The many career routes within the Geotech field, from field work to software to sales

  • The most rewarding and challenging aspects of Geotech

  • Common misconceptions about what geotechnical engineers do ( + what they really do)

  • Why the PE matters for geotech engineers...as Hannah learned firsthand at work

  • The reason the Geotechnical PE Civil Exam has the lowest volume of test-takers

  • Why the geotechnical knowledge is also important for your personal, day-to-day life

  • The field-tested way to find a career path that makes you wake up excited every day.

  • Why she started sharing her journey on LinkedIn (and the benefits it brought to her)
