Geotechnical Design Engineers Wide - Hybrid

About the Role

To help support Amentum’s worldwide $14B F25 forward looking workload and our portfolio of complex and exciting geotechnical projects within the Defence, Nuclear Power, Environment and Government‑Owned Critical Infrastructure industries, we are now looking to grow our Ground Engineering capabilities within the UK and are seeking to recruit Geotechnical Design Engineers at a range of experience levels including:

• Geotechnical Design Engineer
• Senior Geotechnical Design Engineer (Chartered or approaching)

We are operating under flexible working arrangements, with a mixture of office‑based and home‑working environments. The Bristol office would be the preferred base‑office, although other offices, such as Oxford, Reading, London or Glasgow etc can also be considered.

As a Ground Engineering Professional within Amentum, you will play a critical role in managing ground risk by delivering geotechnical assessment, analysis, design and construction supervision to a diverse range of existing and future projects across the UK and internationally. This work can involve:

• Preliminary source, feasibility, value engineering, innovation and sustainability studies.
• Land and overwater ground investigations including advanced in‑situ and laboratory testing and data management.
• Ground characterisation, paramatrisation and modelling of soil and rock.
• Numerical and finite‑element analyses of geotechnical problems, including seismic and dynamic analysis.
• Geotechnical analysis and design of innovative and sustainable structures such as: routine and complex design within soil and rock, SSI and seismic SSI, deep and shallow foundations, retaining walls, basements, cofferdams, earthworks, reinforced earth and geotextiles, ground improvement including vibrational, mixing and grouting methodologies, ground anchors, soil nails, rock bolts, etc.
• Specification for construction purposes.

For the right ground engineering candidates there are opportunities to develop at all levels within our organisation.

• UK Nationality:
  Applicants must be sole UK Nationals, willing to obtain SC level security clearance, and have resided in the UK for the preceding 5 years.
• Knowledge of ground engineering with a focus on geotechnical design.
• Relevant experience of geotechnical standards and codes of practice.

• Geotechnical analysis, design and technical reporting involving some of the following:
• Deep / Shallow foundations.
• Basements, retaining structures, and reinforced earth.
• Excavations, earthworks, and ground treatment.
• Soil / Rock reinforcement and ground anchors.

Degree (BEng, MEng, MSc) Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Geology, or equivalent.
