The Opportunity
Join our 2027 Graduate Programme as a Graduate Geo-Environmental / Geo-Technical Engineer in either our Reading or London office, where you will be part of our multidisciplinary Environmental Services team.
About The Role
As a Graduate Geo-Environmental / Geo-Technical Engineer, you will work on a diverse and exciting range of projects across key sectors, including renewables, defence, commercial, and residential developments. The role offers an excellent balance between hands-on, on-site tasks and office-based consultancy work. Our geo team collaborates closely with integrated project teams and other disciplines across Stantec—including Civils, Structural, Transport, Air Quality, Acoustics, and Flood Risk—to support clients seamlessly through the planning and construction process. You will benefit from strong support from office and technical colleagues, as well as significant mentorship from senior leaders within our open and collaborative culture.
Your core responsibilities will include:
- Designing, scoping, and managing site investigations, including on-site supervision, soil and rock logging, and environmental sampling.
- Analysing field data and authoring comprehensive factual and interpretative reports.
- Conducting qualitative and quantitative geo-environmental and geotechnical risk assessments to support site development and remediation.
- Providing expert geo advice throughout the design, planning, and construction phases on multidisciplinary schemes.

Your Impact
In this role, your mix of fieldwork and technical consultancy will directly help clients navigate complex ground conditions and environmental requirements across critical national sectors. Working as part of an integrated team, your input will ensure sustainable land use, support renewable energy infrastructure, and deliver high-quality outcomes for local communities.
