Mentorship

Ninyo & Moore strongly believes in the mentoring and guidance of young professionals just starting on their career path. Many of these staff work closely with Senior Principals in their specific discipline to learn what cannot be taught from a textbook. These highly experienced professionals take the extra time and care to educate our young engineers, geologists and environmental scientists so that they can one day be the mentors. Additionally, Ninyo & Moore annually bestows an Achievement award in honor of one of our late geotechnical engineers who was a great inspiration and mentor to the technical staff. This award is given to a Ninyo & Moore professional who demonstrates this same ideal of mentorship.
