A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join a well-established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy in Sheffield.

This role offers the chance to work on a wide range of projects, with a particular focus on the renewable energy sector. You will be involved in delivering geotechnical solutions for wind farms, solar developments, battery energy storage systems (BESS), transmission infrastructure, and other major civil engineering projects across the UK.

The successful Senior Geotechnical Engineer will lead geotechnical projects from initial ground investigation through to detailed design, managing project delivery, mentoring junior engineers, and maintaining strong client relationships.

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.
