Job description

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

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 tight
• A 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.
