Fantastic opportunity at a medium-sized Ground Investigation Company who are looking for a talented Graduate Geotechnical Engineer, based in Northampton.

The client offers an accredited Graduate Training Scheme, which all graduates will be enrolled in, plus support through the pathway to Chartership. And the role itself provides a great opportunity for professional and personal development, with the prospect to progress to assisting with project delivery through preparation of desk studies, interpretation of ground investigations and factual and interpretative reporting.
