Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical 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 Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers at a range of experience levels including:

• Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineers
• Senior Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineers (Chartered or approaching).

We are operating under flexible working arrangements, with a mixture of office-based and home working environments. 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 will 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, parametrisation and modelling of soil and rock.
• Numerical and FE analyses of geotechnical problems, including seismic and dynamic analysis.
• Geotechnical analysis and design of innovative and sustainable structures, comprising:
• Routine and complex design within soil and rock, SSI and seismic SSSI
• Deep and shallow Foundations, Retaining walls, Basements and 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.
• Technical construction assurance

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

We are interested in seeing your profile if you have experience or exposure to a SELECTION of the following:

• 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 focus on engineering geology, soil mechanics and rock mechanics.
• Relevant experience of Standards and Codes of Practise
• Geotechnical desk studies, field mapping and geomorphological assessment;
• Ground investigation including design, specification, supervision, assessment and data management;
• 2D/3D Ground Modelling and Characterisation;
• Routine geotechnical analysis, design and technical reporting involving some of the following;
• Foundations, retaining structures, and reinforced earth;
  Landslip, excavations; earthworks; and ground treatment;
  Soil / Rock reinforcement and ground anchors;
  Land quality
• Technical software such as:
  Open Ground, Leapfrog, GEO5 Suite;
  Roc Science Suite;
  Well Cad;
  Auto Cad;
  ArcGIS;
  MathCAD etc, would be beneficial;
• Degree (BSc, BEng, Meng, MSc) Engineering Geology / Geology, Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering or equivalent.

We’ll inspire and empower you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow and succeed – today and into tomorrow. We offer an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and diverse team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities.
