An opportunity has arisen for a Geotechnical / Geo-Environmental Engineer to join a well-established ground investigation and consultancy practice based in Manchester.



We are seeking an engineer with a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, applied geology, or civil engineering with geotechnical content. Ideally, you will have between one and five years of relevant experience, though candidates with less than a year of experience who have completed relevant placements are also encouraged to apply.



About the Role



You'll be part of a busy, collaborative team in our main Hertfordshire office. The position involves:



Supervising ground investigations on site



Preparing interpretive reports and geotechnical analyses



Scoping and pricing new work



Liaising directly with clients



You'll have the chance to join our graduate training and mentoring programme, with structured seminars and the option to work towards Chartership. Regular CPD sessions and external events are also supported.



Our work spans ground investigations, geotechnical design, and contaminated land assessment. We deliver detailed interpretive reporting on every project, so this role suits someone who enjoys both hands-on site work and office-based technical analysis. You'll take responsibility for your own projects early in your career with guidance from experienced engineers. While experience in geotechnical assessments or numerical modelling is advantageous, full training will be provided.



What We're Looking For



We value creativity, motivation, and a desire to learn. Curiosity and clear communication - both written and verbal - are key. Our core values include safety, enthusiasm, integrity, kindness, innovation, sustainability, and community. We welcome applicants who share these principles and who thrive in a supportive, team-focused environment.

Workplace pension scheme



Wellbeing and mental health support (Employee Assistance Programme)



Free gym/yoga/exercise membership



Weekly fresh fruit deliveries



Lunch provided during company meetings

We support flexible working arrangements, including the option to work from home part of the week.



Wellbeing



We're committed to fostering a healthy and positive workplace. Staff benefit from wellbeing initiatives such as gym memberships, yoga/exercise classes, the Cycle to Work scheme, and weekly fruit baskets delivered to the office.



Community and Giving Back



We donate a weekly fruit basket to a local care home, encourage volunteering and charitable work, and make an annual Christmas donation to local charities near our offices.



Professional Development



Learning and growth are central to our culture. We provide regular technical seminars, training courses, mentoring towards chartership, and cover the cost of professional memberships and industry events
