Job Description
A leading UK geotechnical consultancy is expanding-and they're looking for talented Chartered, Senior, and Principal Geotechnical Engineers with seismic engineering experience to join their growing team. With flexible, UK-wide locations, this is an opportunity to work where it suits you while contributing to some of the most exciting projects shaping the future of infrastructure and energy.
Known for delivering standout projects across a diverse portfolio, the business thrives on collaboration, innovation, and diversity of thinking. Every voice matters, and every idea counts. It's a place where technical excellence meets a genuinely supportive culture-serious about results, but never about hierarchy.
With over 300 specialists in ground engineering, the company is at the forefront of decarbonisation and next-generation infrastructure, contributing to major programmes including nuclear new-build, advanced reactors, and large-scale defence developments in the UK and internationally. As demand accelerates, so do opportunities-meaning fast-tracked career progression for those ready to step up.
Successful candidates will take on key roles in complex geotechnical and numerical modelling projects, working with cutting-edge tools such as PLAXIS, FLAC/FLAC3D, and advanced soil models. They'll lead analysis, interpret complex data, collaborate across disciplines, and help push the boundaries of digital engineering. There's also a strong focus on mentoring and developing junior talent, helping shape the future of the discipline.
They're looking for technically strong engineers with chartered status, a passion for innovation, and confidence in working in multidisciplinary environments. Experience in advanced modelling, seismic design, or programming (Python/C++) is highly valued.
In return, they offer a flexible, forward-thinking working environment, meaningful projects, and the chance to build a career at the cutting edge of geotechnical engineering.
