Geo Environmental Engineer

Geotechnical / Geo-environmental Engineer

The information below covers the role requirements, expected candidate experience, and accompanying qualifications.
Location: Sheffield
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. You will be walking up the historic hillsides of Sheffield whilst 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.
