About the Role:
MEC is a multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental consultancy, delivering services for private and public sector projects across residential, commercial, industrial, retail, leisure, education, and healthcare. Operating nationally from offices in Leicestershire, Birmingham, Brighton, and Nottingham, we provide expert guidance for a wide range of clients.
We are looking for an experienced Geo-Environmental Engineer to join our growing team in Leicestershire. While our preference is for this role to be based in our Leicestershire office, we would also consider candidates based in our Birmingham or Nottingham offices.

You'll be responsible for producing technically accurate calculations and reports, managing projects within agreed timescales and budgets, and collaborating with clients, regulators, and multidisciplinary teams to achieve successful outcomes. The role also includes site visits, business development support, and contributing to the continuous improvement of technical standards and processes.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied workload, values collaboration, and takes pride in delivering practical, high-quality solutions for clients.
