Amentum provides client‑oriented solutions across our environment, energy, and defence businesses. With a strong order book and a diverse, exciting portfolio of projects across the UK and internationally, we need to expand our team of geoscience and environmental specialists across multiple disciplines required to deliver a project lifecycle—from new build and operations through to decommissioning and site end use. We offer opportunities for significant career advancement, attractive remuneration, and flexible working, as well as leadership and client relationship role development.

We are seeking an experienced Structural Geologist with 6+ years industry experience to join our team. The successful candidate will apply advanced structural interpretation, modelling and geomechanics skills to support projects within the Earth and Environmental Services Operations Area, as part of our Energy & Environment International business.

As an experienced geoscientist, with key skills in structural geology and geomechanics, you will be working within a multidisciplinary team with specialities in low strength sedimentary rock, high strength rock and Quaternary geology, and on projects with associated disciplines ranging from hydrogeology, land quality, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geophysics. Much of the work we undertake involves siting, site characterisation, site descriptive models and understanding subsurface conditions relevant to a range of end uses from new build nuclear power, defence facilities, radioactive waste disposal through to clean energy solutions.

Decommissioning and regeneration of legacy sites, repurposing for alternative use may also be a focus of your work. We maintain strong links and regularly work with academic researchers around the UK.

In addition, you will be encouraged to work with the wider Amentum community to further strengthen the team’s capabilities. As this is a senior role you will be expected to provide guidance and mentorship to junior staff whilst providing project technical leadership within our Subsurface Solutions team. You will also gain experience in complex bid preparation, project management and technical planning.

As a result, we are looking for people who have the passion and drive to be involved with challenging projects with strong adaptability, prioritisation and team working skills, and a willingness to share your knowledge along the way.
