As a Graduate Engineering Geologist, you’ll be involved in all aspects of a project from “cradle to grave”, gaining real practical experience of all stages of a project from the initial desk-based study, being on site completing tests and liaising with clients and subcontractors to the final interpretive report.

This role offers a mixture of office and site-based work. Your designated office base will be Tiverton, with opportunities to work on sites across the UK.
