Mon Geotech is a specialist geotechnical consultancy, and we're looking for a graduate to join us in September 2027. You'll work directly with the founder on live projects and take part in every stage of the work, from desk studies and ground investigation to design and reporting.
Because the business is small, you won't be kept on one narrow task. You'll see how projects run from start to finish. You'll also get one-to-one guidance on the technical side and on how a consultancy works day to day.
What you'll do
- Help plan and specify ground investigations, and review the factual data that comes back
- Carry out geotechnical calculations and design for foundations, retaining walls, slopes and earthworks, with checking and support
- Interpret soil and rock parameters from site and laboratory testing
- Prepare desk studies, interpretive reports and design notes
- Visit sites to log, supervise and observe ground conditions
- Develop and use calculation tools, including spreadsheets and Python
- Support with other business activities such as invoicing, bidding, development of internal procedures and external communications.
What we're looking for
- A solid understanding of soil mechanics, or a clear interest in building one
- Curiosity about how the ground behaves, and a willingness to ask questions
- Clear, careful written communication
- A full UK driving licence
What we offer
- Direct, day-to-day mentoring from a chartered engineer (CEng MICE, RoGEP)
- Support towards professional qualification with the ICE or the Geological Society of London
- Varied work across a range of geotechnical problems
- A chance to help shape the business as it grows
About Mon Geotech
Mon Geotech is a geotechnical consultancy based in central Cardiff. It was founded in 2026 by Chris Seddon, a chartered civil engineer (CEng MICE) and UK Registered Ground Engineering Professional. Chris is currently the only person in the business.
We provide geotechnical design across the life of a project, from early ground investigation through to detailed design. Our work covers:
- deep foundations and embedded retaining walls
- retaining structures
- rock and soil slopes
- earthworks
- shallow foundations
- road and rail formation treatment
We're a lean, engineer-led practice. We focus on getting the technical fundamentals right and on understanding what each client actually needs. Three values guide how we work:
- Curiosity. We approach problems with an open mind and keep learning as we go.
- Integrity. We act ethically and deal consistently with clients and suppliers.
- Efficiency. We aim for designs that are cost-effective and delivered without wasted time or effort.
As an early hire you will work directly with the founder on live projects. That means early exposure to design, site work and technical decisions, with one-to-one support and a strong grounding in soil mechanics and engineering judgement. You'd also have a chance to help shape the business as it grows.
