Geotechnical Engineer

Are you a geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist, chartered or working towards it, who wants more design responsibility on genuinely complex, high profile projects?I am working with one of the world’s leading engineering consultancies to find a talented geotechnical design engineer for their Sheffield team. This is a rare opportunity to join a major international firm but work within a small, close-knit regional team where you will carry real responsibility from day one and not get lost in a crowd.What you will be working on:High level geotechnical design across a diverse range of sectors including Yorkshire Water frameworks, mining risk assessments, small modular reactor site characterisation for the Rolls-Royce nuclear programme, and a growing pipeline of nuclear, energy and infrastructure projects. The scale and variety of work here is genuinely hard to find in a regional office.What they are looking for:A geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist with a strong grounding in geotechnical design principles, comfortable working on complex ground conditions and keen to develop across multiple sectors. Chartered (CEng or CGeol) or actively working towards chartership. You are the kind of engineer who wants to lead jobs, take ownership of design, mentor junior colleagues and draw on the technical depth of one of the largest ground engineering networks in the UK when needed.Consultancy background essential. Experience in Ground Investigation, earthworks, foundation design, retaining structures or numerical modelling all relevant.Why this role:Big firm capability. Small team feel. Real design responsibility. Diverse and complex project portfolio. A clear path to chartership and progression. And Sheffield itself offers an outstanding quality of life with the Peak District on your doorstep and a city centre office two minutes from the train station.If you are a geotechnical design engineer looking for more challenge, more variety and more responsibility, drop me a message.
