The Role

We are looking for a Geotechnical Engineer to join our team in Leeds. We are well known locally for working on projects like Wellington Place office development, the former Tetley Brewery site and former Woodville Colliery redevelopment.

This role involves producing high-quality technical reports, helping developing ground models and design parameters, and undertaking geotechnical analysis of foundations and related structures. The position also includes occasional site supervision of investigations and construction (including earthworks) and ensuring all activities comply with Curtins’ procedures and the highest safety, health and environmental standards.

The Right Fit

We are looking for someone with experience in Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering to support our existing geotechnical team in Leeds.

• A suitable candidate will hold a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Geology, Geotechnics or a related discipline (or equivalent), with a master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering desirable but not essential.
• They should have a good understanding of engineering geology and geotechnics ideally with earthworks supervision skills, strong communication skills, and the ability to work effectively within a team.
• The role requires excellent written skills for producing clear, high-quality technical reports, strong attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and a consistent focus on health and safety.

Above all the right fit will be guided by what is right when making decisions, who recognises the contribution of others and shares their successes. Someone who is kind, conscientious and has pride in their work and the legacy our profession leaves for everyone.
