We stand for excellence, innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, always pushing boundaries to deliver exceptional results for clients and meaningful impact for communities.

No two days will be the same in this role – you will get the best of both worlds with a mix of site and office-based work. You will take ownership of projects, shape designs from concept to delivery, and mentor the next generation of engineers.

• Build strong client relationships and ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality.
• Champion continuous improvement, bringing fresh thinking and best practice into every project.

Success in this role means being seen as a go-to geotechnical expert, trusted by clients and colleagues alike. Your projects are delivered on time, on budget, and exceed expectations. You have helped colleagues grow their skills and confidence, strengthening the team. Clients come back to you because of the relationships and trust you have built. You play a key role in shaping innovative, sustainable solutions that make a tangible difference.
