Geo-environmental/Geotechnical Engineer: Autonomy, Growth & Progression at this fast-growing SME Ground Investigation Company. This mainly remote-first role is based in Liverpool.
~
Overview
We are partnering with a fast-growing geotechnical and geo-environmental consultancy that entering a significant phase of expansion. The business is small, ambitious, and technically strong, and they are now looking to appoint a motivated engineer who wants responsibility, autonomy, and rapid progression.
You will work across both geotechnical and geo-environmental projects, gaining exposure far beyond what is typical in larger firms. As you develop, you will run your own jobs and manage client relationships. You will form the middle layer of the business as it scales and so, as more juniors and graduates join, you will naturally step into mentoring, project ownership, and leadership responsibilities.
This role involves Remote-first working: Engineers work from home when not on site, with flexible meetups for collaboration. No daily commute, no unnecessary office time, and no micromanagement. The team is close-knit, collaborative, and grounded. They value people who take pride in their work and enjoy being trusted to get on with things.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to escape rigid corporate structures and a perfect time join a consultancy. You will have influence, visibility, and the opportunity to grow with the business. If you want to be part of building something rather than simply working within it, this role offers exactly that.
