Join our 2027 Graduate Programme as a Graduate Geo-Environmental / Geo-Technical Engineer in either our Edinburgh or Glasgow office, where you will be part of our multidisciplinary Environmental Services team.
As a Graduate Geo-Environmental / Geo-Technical Consultant, you will join an established, close-knit ground engineering team embedded within a wider multidisciplinary office. You will work on a dynamic portfolio of projects across the UK, supporting our Infrastructure & Buildings, Water, Energy, and Environmental Services business units.
