Job Opportunity for Chartered Geotechnical Engineer
An exciting opportunity has opened for a Chartered Geotechnical Engineer to join a multinational, market-leading project management and engineering company, within their highly respected geotechnical team, based in either Edinburgh or Glasgow.
About the Role
The role offers the chance to work on an impressive portfolio of high-profile projects across the UK and internationally, spanning infrastructure and energy markets including renewables, low-carbon engineering and nuclear power.
The successful candidate will play a key technical leadership role, delivering complex geotechnical design and providing guidance and mentorship to junior engineers. Experience in Design & Build environments is highly valued, along with a strong background in numerical analysis, foundation and ground structure design, and digital geotechnical tools.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
