Senior Design Engineer (Geotechnical), London

We are looking for an experienced Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our in-house Construction Engineering Team. This is a key role where you will play an important part in delivering geotechnical design and analysis for complex temporary works on high-profile London projects.

• Geotechnical analysis and design from feasibility through to detailed design (throughout tender and live project stages)
• Developing innovative and practical engineering solutions, challenging briefs where necessary
• Producing clear, buildable, and efficient design solutions aligned with construction methodologies
• Identifying, mitigating and managing geotechnical and construction risks
• Collaborating closely with project, construction, and temporary works teams to ensure designs are deliverable within programme and site constraints

• Ideally, at least 5 years’ experience in geotechnical design within a consultancy or contractor design team
• Competence in understanding and interpreting geotechnical investigation data
• Experience across geotechnical analysis software (primarily WALLAP and PLAXIS 2D)
• Strong understanding of geotechnical design codes and processes
• Ability to translate complex analysis into practical, buildable solutions
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams

This is more than a design role, you’ll be part of a team delivering some of the most challenging engineering projects in London, where your work has real impact from design through to construction.

We’re on the cusp of our next big leap and this is an excellent opportunity for you to make your mark…
