As a Senior Ground Investigation Engineer, you will play a key role in leading project delivery, developing engineers and helping shape the future growth of our Ground Investigation team in Scotland.

Ground investigation remains a site-focused profession and our projects frequently take place across Scotland, including the Highlands, Islands and other remote locations.

No two projects are the same. One week you could be supporting a transmission infrastructure project in the Highlands, the next providing technical leadership on rail, transportation, renewable energy, water or major civil engineering projects elsewhere in Scotland.

The role requires flexibility and a willingness to work away from home when projects demand it. We recognise the commitment this requires and ensure our reward package appropriately reflects the nature of the work and the contribution our people make.

As part of BAM's Ground Engineering team, you'll join a highly experienced group with a strong reputation for technical excellence, safe delivery and developing talented people.

As a Senior Ground Investigation Engineer, you will take ownership of the planning and delivery of ground investigation projects, ensuring resources, programme, commercial and technical requirements are effectively managed.

You will provide technical leadership across a wide range of projects, helping to maintain high standards of delivery whilst supporting the development of engineers and graduates within the business.
