RSK Ireland Ltd Geoscientist Role
RSK Ireland Ltd are seeking to recruit a highly experienced full-time Geoscientist currently working at Senior or Principal level to work in our Belfast office on a hybrid basis.
This opportunity is for a motivated and ambitious person with good interpersonal skills seeking to advance their career.
About the Role
The Geosciences team within RSK Group is one of the UK and Ireland’s largest geotechnical and contaminated land consultancies with ambitious plans for growth. The Geosciences team provides consultancy and design services to both public and private sector organisations for a diverse range of projects including commercial and residential developments, infrastructure, utilities, transport, renewable energy, petrochemical and fuel retail companies. Our current workload includes major infrastructure projects, housing, warehousing & distribution developments and large scale remediation.
Responsibilities
It is expected that as a Senior/Principal grade you will have a wider industry awareness and have strong client interface capabilities. You will have a project financial focus, be self-motivated, exhibit a proactive approach, and work well within a multi-disciplinary team environment. A primary role will be project management, overseeing work completed by third party contractors and mentoring junior staff.
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.
