Job description

I'm currently recruiting for a Geo-Environmental Engineer to join a well-established ground investigation and geo-environmental consultancy in Leeds.

This is a genuinely good time to join. My client is an established, nationally expanding business working across a broad mix of development, health, education, defence and infrastructure clients.

You'd be joining a team that handles the full ground investigation lifecycle, and there's real scope here for an ambitious engineer to develop, with tailored training and a clear path to grow.

It's a role with variety built in. Roughly half your time is on site across the UK, the rest split between home and the Manchester office on a flexible hybrid pattern, so you get the site exposure without living out of a suitcase.

What you'll be doing:

• Scoping, setting up and supervising geotechnical and geo-environmental ground investigations, from desk study through to delivery
• Logging boreholes, scheduling lab testing, and carrying out groundwater and ground gas monitoring
• Producing clear factual and interpretative reports that feed directly into project design and risk decisions

What we're after:

• A degree in geology, engineering geology or environmental science, plus hands-on GI experience across scoping, logging, monitoring and reporting
• Someone comfortable managing site logistics, subcontractors and lab schedules while keeping data quality tightA full driving licence, strong HSE awareness on site, and the confidence to communicate findings clearly to clients and contractors

Why it's worth a look:

My client is a global consultancy with thousands of people across the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, but the team you'd join keeps a personal feel and backs its people to develop. Tickets like CSCS, SSSTS/SMSTS, CAT and Genny, water hygiene and first aid are all welcome, and anything you're missing they'll train.
