• Design and specification of innovative and sustainable structures
• 2d/3d numerical modelling; and Construction support

Reporting to the Head of Ground Engineering, the successful candidates will hold strong technical credentials, with particular focus on the design of ground engineering structures.

We’ll inspire and empower you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow and succeed - today and into tomorrow. We offer an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and diverse team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities.
