Geotechnical / Geo-environmental Engineer – Location: Sheffield
Ready to work on projects that shape communities, protect the environment, and develop your technical edge? We're offering a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking engineering consultancy in a hands-on, site-engaged role that blends geotechnical precision with environmental responsibility. You will be walking up the historic hillsides of Sheffield whilst delivering real-world impact across a rich portfolio of projects.
What You'll Be Doing
* Lead on-site investigations, including trial pitting, soak-away testing, borehole supervision, and capping verification

* Advise on geotechnical parameters for foundations, slope stability, and other structural elements
* Conduct detailed quantitative risk assessments and support safe, sustainable project design
* Collaborate closely with clients, regulators, contractors, and internal engineering teams across multiple disciplines
