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

~

Overview

Our client takes pride in providing cost effective ground investigations and geotechnical/ geoenvironmental services, supported by an in-house geotechnical testing laboratory, to a wide range of clients and projects across the UK - from new developments and slope stability assessments, to subsidence investigations and expert witness services.

Initially the role will be predominantly field based to give you a good grounding in field works, varying types of geology, projects and sites. You will also be responsible for liaising with clients and landowners/developers when on site.

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.
