Graduate Design Engineer - September 2027 - Geotechnical


We are looking for technically strong, highly creative graduate geotechnical engineer. You will need to be an effective communicator who can use a pencil and be willing to embrace our digital revolution.

 

We’d also like you to be hard-working, a team player and looking for responsibility early in your career. For our part, we promise that you’ll grow with us, fast.

 

What we’re looking for

  • MEng, or BEng/BSc (minimum 2:1) followed by an MSc, in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering
  • A good understanding of geotechnical design principles, such as derivation of soil parameters, shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls and slope stability
  • An interest in the planning and interpretation of ground investigations
  • Curiosity about how a set of drawings becomes a real building or piece of infrastructure
  • Clear, confident technical writing
  • Digital savvy, ideally with some programming experience (e.g. Python) to support geotechnical design
  • A collaborative approach, comfortable working alongside our structural and civil engineering teams
  • Commitment to working towards chartership with the ICE. We will support graduate development through structured training, mentoring and progression towards ICE chartership

What you’ll do

  • Support geotechnical design and analysis across a range of projects
  • Support the planning and interpretation of ground investigations, including occasional site work
  • Prepare technical reports, specifications and other design deliverables
  • Work closely with our structural and civil engineering teams
  • Help develop digital tools to improve our design workflows
