This role involves leading intrusive ground investigation works, including the supervision of rotary and cable percussive drilling. You will oversee site activities, manage subcontractors, ensure compliance with health and safety standards, and carry out high-quality soil and rock logging.

The ideal candidate will have a strong mix of geo-environmental and geotechnical experience.
As an Engineering Geologist, you will also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, share your technical knowledge, and continue developing your skills under the guidance of senior and principal engineers.
If you are looking to work for a talented specialist geotechnical and environmental consultancy, we want to hear from you.
