Graduate Geotechnical Engineer

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.

• 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

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

• 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.

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.
