We are seeking a senior or principal geotechnical engineer to assist in the continued growth of the company.

Applicants should be graduates in geology, engineering geology or civil engineering, probably with an appropriate second degree. We expect you to be chartered as an engineer or geologist and to have in excess of ten years experience.

We are looking for solid experience in the UK geotechnical / ground engineering industry, and a track record of delivering ground investigations and complex ground engineering solutions for buildings and structures. The successful applicant will have an understanding of geology, the ability to develop ground models from ground investigation data and experience of carrying out foundation designs, ground movement analyses and the use of industry software such as PDisp, XDisp and slope stability programs. Experience in carrying out finite element analyses would be useful.

The successful applicant will join our management team and will be expected to assist in driving the growth of the company. The ability to manage junior staff is therefore essential, along with an understanding of business development and having existing contacts in the industry. A desire to be involved in shaping the future direction of GEA is critical, as we embark on an exciting new phase of growth following the recent acquisition by STAT Holdings.

The position will be based in our attractive converted barn in the Hertfordshire office and is predominantly office-based. We offer a competitive salary, private health insurance, workplace pension, gym membership, weekly free fruit, regular social events and a relaxed and friendly working environment.
