Job Description
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.
Why Join Us
We believe people grow best through exposure, mentorship, and meaningful responsibility. Here’s what we offer:
- Professional Development: In-house training & support toward chartership
- Flexible Working: Tailored start/finish times around your schedule
- Generous Holidays: Up to 26 days plus the option of 3 extra days
- Pension & Insurance: 4% pension, 2x life insurance, enhanced sick pay
- Health Support: Discounted health cash plan for everyday medical needs
- Lifestyle Benefits: Cycle-to-work scheme, social events, community involvement
This is more than a job — it’s an environment where you’ll be encouraged to thrive technically and socially.
We foster a close-knit team culture, valuing curiosity, initiative, and a bit of good humour.
