Graduate Engineering Geologist
Location: Cambridge
Salary: GBP28,000 : GBP34,000
An excellent opportunity has become available for a Graduate Engineering Geologist to join a well-established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy based in Cambridge. This is an ideal role for a recent geology, engineering geology, or geoscience graduate looking to build a long-term career within the ground engineering sector.
You'll work alongside experienced engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers on a wide variety of residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the UK. The role offers a great balance of site and office work, providing exposure to every stage of ground investigation projects.
The Role
As a Graduate Engineering Geologist, you'll gain hands-on experience carrying out and supervising ground investigations, collecting and logging soil and rock samples, undertaking in-situ testing, and preparing factual reports. As your experience develops, you'll become involved in interpreting ground conditions and supporting geotechnical design work.
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.
