This position presents an outstanding opportunity to join a team of leading geoscience professionals (including geotechnical engineers, geologists and contaminated land specialists) within a truly multinational consultancy and offers significant potential for career development and enhancement based on performance.

The Land Quality team undertakes a wide range of site assessment/investigation and associated reporting for a diverse range of clients and the successful applicant will be required to undertake and manage project tasks, fieldwork and data manipulation and assist in preparing subsequent reports to provide advice to clients.

If you are successful, you will provide assistance to the team in the following areas:

• Managing all aspects of geo-environmental fieldwork.

• Organising site investigation/laboratory testing services in advance of field works.
• Developing health and safety plans to cover identified work tasks.
• Site Investigation management and supervision:
• Logging soil and rock.
• Arranging laboratory analysis of soil and rock samples.
• Data collation, manipulation and assessment; and
• Reporting of investigations and assessments.

About you
If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. In order to succeed as well as a BSc Degree level qualification or equivalent in an applied geological science and a full UK driving licence, we'd envisage that you would be able to demonstrate:

• Relevant postgraduate qualification and membership of a relevant institution (CGeol, EurGeol, PGeo or similar) would be advantageous.
• Good IT skills (MS Office or equivalent), and relevant professional software knowledge (e.g. modelling & logging software; AutoCAD and GIS software).
• Good communication, report writing and data analysis skills.
• The ability to work as part of a team and follow strict Health & Safety protocols.
• A desire to build a successful career in the geo-environmental sector.
