Geotechnics…’ it’s been in the name since 1983. We deal with the engineering and environmental interaction between earth materials and the built environment. We work with soil, rock, groundwater and other man made materials to help ground truth and understand the site‑specific engineering behaviour beneath our feet. We offer value through our research, investigation, testing, monitoring, reporting and evaluation to reduce the risks associated with the unknowns at pre‑construction stage.
Our Company values (Quality, People, Integrity), ethos and vision are everything to us. Nurturing and providing a workplace where everyone is involved, passionate and driven to deliver the very best quality site investigation services and data to serve the construction industry, wider community and the environment in which we operate and live.
Our vision is simple – to be the very best at what we do and to ensure the experience of working with and for us is enjoyable for one and all.
It’s an exciting time for Geotechnics as we look to grow and build upon our solid foundations established some 40 years ago whilst striving to remain as committed, motivated, determined and responsive to our people as we are to our clients.
At Geotechnics we take great pride in being people focussed with integrity – our people are our most important and greatest asset and without them we couldn’t do all the great work we do.
We value everyone’s thoughts, talents and ideas. We’re excited to see what you can make happen and we look forward to working with you.

Typically, you will be assigned to a project by the Regional Operations or Projects Manager at the point of award and you will take charge of client liaison and have responsibility that the project is suitably planned and that key deliverables are met.
