Environmental remediation and compliance engineering for contaminated sites
Terraphase Engineering is a 201–500-person environmental services firm applying geotechnical, hydrogeological, and regulatory expertise to contaminated-site remediation and compliance work. The hiring profile—heavily skewed toward senior and principal engineers (18 of 24 open roles)—reflects a business model built on deep technical credibility and client-facing project delivery rather than scaling junior staff. Active projects center on groundwater assessment, wastewater compliance, and remedial investigations; pain points cluster around managing mid-to-large compliance engagements and regulatory coordination, suggesting internal strain as the compliance division grows.
Terraphase Engineering, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Oakland, California, serves environmental and engineering challenges in remediation, geotechnical work, stormwater design, and industrial wastewater treatment. The firm works with clients on site assessments, brownfield redevelopment, contaminated-site remediation, regulatory compliance audits, and litigation support. Their technology stack centers on specialized domain tools—MODFLOW for groundwater modeling, HEC-RAS and SWMM for stormwater hydraulics, ArcGIS and AutoCAD for spatial and engineering design—alongside standard office software. The firm operates across the U.S. with a primarily engineering-focused workforce.
