The role
Graduate Engineering Geologist
Leeds | Office & Site-Based Role
Looking for a role that gives you real site exposure, technical development and a clear pathway into Engineering Geology?
Starting your career is about more than just finding a job. It's about finding an environment where you can learn from experienced professionals, work on interesting projects and develop the skills that will shape your future career.
If you're a Graduate Engineering Geologist looking to build your experience across ground investigations, geotechnical reporting and infrastructure projects, this opportunity offers exactly that.
You'll join one of the UK's leading Civil, Structural and Geotechnical Engineering consultancies, working alongside experienced engineers and geologists on projects spanning rail, infrastructure, commercial developments and public sector schemes.
What's in it for you?
Gain hands-on experience across both site and office environments
Work on a diverse range of infrastructure and geotechnical projects
Learn from experienced Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers
Develop technical skills in ground investigations, reporting and design
Exposure to multidisciplinary engineering teams
Structured professional development and mentoring
Clear career progression opportunities
Build the foundations for Chartered status and long-term career growth
The Role
As a Graduate Engineering Geologist, you'll support the delivery of geotechnical and ground engineering projects while developing your technical and professional expertise.
Your responsibilities will include:
Assisting with desk studies and interpretative reporting
Supporting ground investigations and site activities
Contributing to ground models and geotechnical assessments
Assisting with geotechnical design solutions
Supporting Preliminary Risk Assessments
Maintaining site records and project documentation
Participating in site visits and client meetings
Working closely with civil, structural and geotechnical teams
Supporting project delivery across a variety of sectors
You'll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle, helping you develop a strong understanding of both technical delivery and consultancy project management.
About You
You may be a recent graduate or someone with a year or two of industry experience looking for the next step in your Engineering Geology career.
Your background may include:
A degree in Geology or a related discipline
Ground investigation experience
Geotechnical or geological reporting
Site work and data collection
Ground modelling and geotechnical assessments
Strong communication and organisational skills
A genuine interest in infrastructure and ground engineering projects
An MSc in Geotechnical Engineering or a related subject would be beneficial, but it's not essential. A full UK driving licence is required due to the site-based nature of the role.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Many graduate roles promise development. This role delivers it.
You'll be trusted with real responsibilities from the outset while receiving the support and guidance needed to accelerate your learning. The combination of site investigations, technical reporting, multidisciplinary collaboration and mentoring means you'll develop a well-rounded skill set that will serve you throughout your career.
If you're ambitious, eager to learn and want to build your career within a respected consultancy environment, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
