Previous ideal candidates came from different backgrounds (young geology degree holders, civil engineering degree holders who like the appeal of diversity of work environment (field, lab, office) and have an interest in geotechnical specialty, skilled workers from other construction trades who want more stable work, etc. Those with geology or CE degrees will also help prepare geotechnical engineering reports and lab reports.
