Junior to Mid Level Geo-Environmental Engineer

Milton Keynes
- West Midlands
- West of England - Wales

We’re growing — and we’re looking for a Junior to Mid-Level Geo-Environmental Engineer to join our friendly, supportive consultancy team in our office near Milton Keynes.

PGE is a geo-environmental, geotechnical and site investigation consultancy working on a wide variety of projects across the South of England, Wales and the Midlands. Our clients range from residential developers to commercial organisations and mineral extraction companies, giving our engineers the chance to build broad, practical experience quickly.

We’re proud to be a collaborative and inclusive workplace where people are supported to learn, develop and progress — whatever stage they’re at in their career.

You’ll work as part of a close-knit technical team, supported by a Senior Engineer as your line manager and mentored by experienced colleagues. We provide guidance and reassurance as you grow in the role, while encouraging independence, confidence and ownership of your work.

This position would suit someone early in their career who’s ready to take the next step, or a mid-level engineer looking for variety, responsibility and long-term development.

  3)

• Producing clear, well-structured factual and interpretative reports (with mentoring and review)

• Working in line with Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ) standards

• A basic understanding of ground investigation methods and data interpretation

• Competitive salary (c. £32,000 to £40,000 reviewed based on experience)
