Geotechnical Engineer

Do you have a fundamental appreciation of ground risk and site investigation?

We're expanding our Geo Division in the South of England (London or Southampton) and are seeking a Geotechnical Consultant to join us. Geo is a core discipline within Stantec, with support from executive leaders who have risen through our ranks. If you're looking for career progression and the opportunity to work on diverse projects in sectors like renewables, commercial, and aviation, we would like to hear from you.

Our geotechnical team undertakes site investigations, interpretation of field data, production of geotechnical design reports, and construction phase support.  Some of our forthcoming projects involve large-scale earthworks, including surcharging, ground improvements and interactions with our remediation team.  We also develop pioneering systems and promote viable alternatives to the standard approaches, which include challenging brownfield sites, implementation of sustainable solutions and better use of 3D data in our delivery.

Ideally, we are looking for someone who has worked in the field for a couple of years and is ready to take that next step in their development.

About You:

We're looking for geotechnical practitioners with a strong foundation in UK-based design practices. You'll bring an understanding of soil mechanics and soil/structure interaction, coupled with experience in preparing ground models and design parameters, including the production of professional and technically competent reports. Your expertise will extend to the analysis of slopes, walls, foundations, and other geotechnical structures.

Your academic qualifications will include a BEng, BSc, or higher degree in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering, with an ambition to progress towards becoming a Chartered Member of a relevant institution. Alternatively, you may hold a first degree in Geology with an MSc in Geotechnical Engineering or an equivalent qualification.

You’ll be undertaking site-based work supervising ground investigation and construction, so will need an understanding of ground investigation techniques.  Overall, you will be providing support in all aspects of project delivery including client liaison and co-ordinating with colleagues from other disciplines. 

Using industry-standard software tools such as Oasys Pile, Alp, PDisp, Adsec, ADC, Rocscience Slide, WALLAP, AutoCAD, and Excel. Experience with Plaxis 3D or other Finite Element (FE) software is a plus.
