Our client is a leading global multi‑disciplinary consultancy with a strong international footprint and over five decades of experience delivering major infrastructure, environmental, and energy projects. With a workforce of approximately 4,000 professionals worldwide‑predominantly engineers, architects, and technical specialists‑the organisation supports public, private, and institutional clients across every continent.
The UK & Ireland business has experienced significant and sustained growth, expanding from a small team to nearly 100 professionals across offices in London, Leeds, Peterborough, and Dublin. Continued project wins and strategic collaborations are driving further expansion, particularly within their Geotechnics & Tunnelling division.
The UK & Ireland Geotechnics & Tunnelling department currently comprises 12 full‑time specialists. The team is dynamic, collaborative, and passionate about technical excellence. While each member brings expertise in either geotechnics or tunnelling, project work is varied and offers opportunities to develop across both areas. The organisation also provides structured professional development support, including access to ICE mentors for those pursuing chartership.
We are seeking a Senior Engineering Geologist or Principal Engineering Geologist to join this growing team. This is a full‑time, permanent position offering exposure to high‑profile projects across the UK, Ireland, and internationally.
The successful candidate will play a key role in technical delivery, project support, and mentoring junior colleagues. You will also contribute to project planning, budget oversight, and programme management alongside Project Managers.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys technical variety, and is motivated by both project delivery and team development.
