Looking to start your career in a role where geospatial data, technical problem-solving and real project delivery come together? Join Tetra Tech and help shape how information is mapped, analysed and used across major sectors.
Purpose & Scope of the Role
Tetra Tech is a leading technical, engineering and environmental consultancy delivering data-driven solutions across water, environment, infrastructure, energy and international development. Our Geospatial team within the Management & Surveying Business Unit works across single and multi-disciplinary projects for clients in sectors including water, defence and nuclear. This graduate role offers varied work across different project locations, technical requirements and sectors, with support from a collaborative team in a global organisation with a strong local presence.

5 Core Capabilities
- Mapping Support – Respond to mapping requests across the business and produce clear, accurate outputs.
- Data Analysis & Reporting – Source, prepare and analyse data to create graphics, metrics and reports.
- Digital Tools & Applications – Use Survey123, Dashboards and Insights to build internal applications that support client delivery.
- Dataset Management – Capture, update and maintain datasets for internal and external use.
- Project Support & Collaboration – Assist on data-heavy projects and support the wider GIS team as needed.
- GIS Improvement – Help develop our use of GIS technology, including new tools and approaches to improve quality and efficiency.
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.
