Graduate Engineer / Assistant Engineer

Our team is currently seeking a Geotechnical /Geoenvironmental Engineer at Graduate or Assistant Engineer level at our head office in the North East, Sunderland.

The Role

Your typical week may include:

  • the planning and execution of geotechnical and geoenvironmental desk studies, ground investigations and remedial works;
  • the project management of ground investigation projects as subcontractor and principal contractor;
  • a variety of site inspections, sample management, field monitoring activities and associated reporting;
  • assist with project planning, programming, cost control and administration;
  • the analysis of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data and the preparation of interpretative and design reports; and,
