The Role

We are looking for a Senior Geo Environmental Engineer to join our team in Edinburgh or Glasgow. We are well known locally for working on projects like HMP Glasgow, Orbiston Community Hub and Callendar Primary School.

This role involves working with a degree of independence, under limited supervision from the team leader to manage and deliver projects. The successful candidate will have responsibility for client liaison and financial and people management within project lifecycles. The role will also involve both writing and reviewing technical documents such as PRAs and DTS, GIR and Remediation Strategies. The position also include site supervision of investigations and construction (including earthworks and remediation) and ensuring all activities comply with Curtins' procedures and the highest safety, health and environmental standards. The chosen candidate may be asked to support the team leader with business development and work winning.

The Right Fit

We are looking for someone with experience in a Geo Environmental Consultant role, ideally in a multi-discipline consultancy, to support our existing team in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

They should be chartered or working under a recognised professional institution training pathway towards chartership. They should have a good understanding of geology and contaminated land with ground investigation supervision skills, strong communication skills, and the ability to work effectively within a team.

The role requires excellent written skills for producing clear, high-quality technical reports, strong attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and a consistent focus on health and safety. Any applicant must hold a full driving licence and be willing to travel and work outdoors.

Above all the right fit will be guided by what is right when making decisions, who recognises the contribution of others and shares their successes. Someone who is kind, conscientious and has pride in their work and the legacy our profession leaves for everyone.
