Our structured training schemes provide routes through to Chartership for ICE, CIWEM, IMechE, IStructE and other relevant institutions. We also recognise the importance of personal development and can offer courses to suit every need.
You will be a recent graduate with enthusiasm about working in the geotechnical field. You must have an MEng in Civil Engineering (in exceptional cases, a BEng will also be considered) or an equivalent Engineering Geology qualification. An MSc or PhD in Soil Mechanics is also desirable.
Also desirable is experience of vacation work or a ‘sandwich’ placement within an engineering consultancy, but this is not essential.
