Senior / Geotechnical Engineer: Progress your career at this busy and growing SME Engineering Consultancy. The role is based in Watford.
Overview
Our client is a specialist geotechnical consultancy with expertise across the full ground engineering cycle, from desk studies and feasibility assessments through to construction. Their core focus includes the design of bored pile retaining walls and foundations, delivery of ground investigations, and preparation of detailed geotechnical reports. In addition to project work, they provide professional training in geotechnical design and Eurocode standards. Serving a diverse client base—from contractors and developers to architects and engineers—they are known for practical solutions and technical excellence.
They are looking for a Geotechnical Engineer or Senior Geotechnical Engineer to become part of their close-knit, collaborative and highly motivated team in Watford. Career development is very important to them, and this role would be ideal for someone who really wants to learn and wants to work for a company where you will be mentored by the Director, who will take an active role in your career development.
All their geotechnical engineers experience the entire ground engineering cycle: desk studies, ground investigation, and design. So, in a typical week, you might be planning and costing a ground investigation one day, and the next day you could be involved in the design of a piled foundation for installation by a piling contractor. Variety, challenge, and end-to-end involvement.
