Geo Environmental Engineer

Geotechnical / Geo-environmental Engineer



Location: Southampton



Ready to work on projects that shape communities, protect the environment, and develop your technical edge?



We’re offering a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking engineering consultancy in a hands-on, site-engaged role that blends geotechnical precision with environmental responsibility. Working along Southampton’s vibrant coastline, you'll be delivering real-world impact across a rich portfolio of projects.



️ What You'll Be Doing



As a Geo Engineer, your scope will be excitingly broad. You’ll be trusted to:



*



Lead on-site investigations, including trial pitting, soak-away testing, borehole supervision, and capping verification



*



Supervise construction phases, from inspecting foundations to managing remediation of contaminated sites and mine workings



*



Compile and author detailed Phase 1 and 2 geotechnical and geo-environmental reports



*



Prepare coal mining risk assessments, earthworks strategies, and verification documentation



*



Advise on geotechnical parameters for foundations, slope stability, and other structural elements



*



Conduct detailed quantitative risk assessments and support safe, sustainable project design



*



Collaborate closely with clients, regulators, contractors, and internal engineering teams across multiple disciplines



This is not just a desk-bound role. It’s boots-on-the-ground engineering — combining fieldwork, data analysis, and meaningful consultancy.



What We’re Looking For



You're a driven professional, either newly qualified or with some experience, ready to grow into the next phase of your career. Essentials include:



*



A Degree or Masters in Geology, Geography, Civil Engineering, or a related field



*



Strong technical skills in site investigations and report writing



*



Working towards professional accreditation (Geological Society, ICE, or equivalent)



*



Full UK driving licence and access to a car (mileage allowance provided)



*



Collaborative mindset and strong communication skills



Whether you're more inclined toward geotechnical design, contaminated land remediation, or coal mining risk assessments, there’s a niche here for you to develop.
