Experience using GIS software such as ArcGIS or QGIS would be beneficial. Familiarity with CAD, geotechnical design software or structural analysis packages would also be welcome, although these are not essential.

Professional institution membership or progress towards chartership with ICE or the Geological Society would be an advantage.

Above all, you'll bring a collaborative approach, curiosity and a commitment to delivering quality work. You don't need to meet every desirable criterion to be considered. If you have relevant experience and are keen to develop, we'd encourage you to apply.
