About You

We're seeking a top-tier Ground Engineering Consultant to join our team. You'll possess a relevant degree in engineering or science (geology, hydrogeology, etc.) and ideally hold a further postgraduate qualification. Extensive postgraduate experience and active pursuit of chartership with a relevant professional body is essential. Additional certifications like SoBRA, RoGEP, or CL:AIRE DoW:CoP will also be highly valued.

Your expertise lies in designing, managing, and supervising ground investigations. You'll excel at collecting accurate site data, analyzing soil, water, and gas data, and preparing reports like Preliminary Risk Assessments, Factual Reports, Interpretative Reports (including GQRA), and, ideally, DQRA.

Experience across associated technical areas like geohazards, geotechnics, earthworks, and hydrogeology is ideal, but your day-to-day activities will mainly involve writing compelling proposals, managing resources effectively, and providing technical leadership to junior team members.

You will hold a strong understanding of relevant codes of practice, industry standards, environmental regulations, and health and safety protocols and be comfortable with travel within the UK. A full UK driving license is also required.

If you're a highly qualified and experienced Ground Engineering Consultant ready to contribute to impactful projects, we encourage you to apply.
