An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join a specialist engineering consultancy supporting major infrastructure projects across the energy, utilities and power sectors.

This Senior Geotechnical Engineer role is ideal for someone with strong geotechnical analysis experience who enjoys solving complex ground engineering challenges across high-profile infrastructure projects. You'll provide technical expertise on schemes involving power networks, gas infrastructure, pipelines, renewable energy and major civil engineering developments.

The successful Senior Geotechnical Engineer will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, delivering geotechnical assessments and advanced numerical modelling to support nationally significant infrastructure projects.

The Role

As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you'll be responsible for:

• Delivering geotechnical design and technical assessments across major infrastructure projects
• Undertaking advanced geotechnical analysis using PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D
• Supporting projects involving energy infrastructure, utilities, pipelines and power networks
• Producing geotechnical reports, calculations and design recommendations
• Advising project teams on ground engineering risks and mitigation strategies
• Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop practical engineering solutions
• Supporting site investigations and interpreting geotechnical data
• Attending technical meetings and occasional site visits when required
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant industry standards and client requirements

This Senior Geotechnical Engineer position offers the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of nationally important infrastructure projects while remaining technically hands-on.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a technically strong Senior Geotechnical Engineer who can make an immediate impact.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer or Geotechnical Engineer
• A minimum of five years' geotechnical engineering experience
• Advanced experience using PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D
• Strong geotechnical design and analysis capability
• Experience delivering infrastructure or utilities projects
• Excellent technical reporting and communication skills
• Ability to work independently while supporting multidisciplinary project teams

The following would be highly advantageous:

• Chartered Engineer status (or working towards)
• Experience with PLEXIS/PLE4WIN or similar geotechnical software
• Experience across power, gas, pipelines, utilities or renewable energy projects
• CSCS Card (or willingness to obtain one)

Candidates should have recent, practical PLAXIS experience rather than academic-only exposure.

Why Apply?

• 12-month contract with strong extension potential
• Outside IR35 considered for the right candidate
• Flexible working with remote and hybrid options available
• Preference for two days per week in the Loughborough office, although other office locations may be considered
• IT equipment and software provided
• Opportunity to work on nationally significant infrastructure projects
• Diverse portfolio spanning energy, utilities, renewables and power networks

Immediate interviews available.

If you're a Senior Geotechnical Engineer with strong PLAXIS experience looking to work on technically challenging infrastructure projects across the energy and utilities sectors, we'd love to hear from you.
