Do you have experience in geotechnical design?
Looking to accelerate your progression while working on a diverse range of projects every month?
Salary: £40,000 – £60,000 (depending on experience)
Location: Croydon – hybrid after settling-in period
Join an employee-owned civil and structural consultancy where everyone has a say and collaboration is at the heart of how they operate. You’ll be part of a friendly, sociable team of 12 delivering a steady flow of varied geotechnical projects — typically 3–8 live jobs at a time, covering embankment design, rock stabilisation and small-scale infrastructure works, with around 70% of projects being in rail.
This is a hands-on, flexible role suited to a well-rounded Geotechnical Engineer who enjoys variety and responsibility. You’ll learn directly from senior specialists, contribute to design decisions, and see your input influence delivery across multiple clients and sectors.
Progression here is genuinely quicker than in large organisations. You’ll be supported towards ICE chartership, encouraged to broaden your skillset (including drainage), given early ownership of your own projects, and be facing clients.

2–6 years’ post-graduate geotechnical design experience
Strong grasp of geotechnical principles and design software

Excellent communication skills.
