As a company representative on site, you will also be responsible for client liaison and maintaining communication with project and reporting managers to report site progress and planning.

Reporting to a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, in the office you will take responsibility for delivering the findings of onshore and nearshore site characterisation projects, data and report review, and training members of the Land Site Characterisation Consultancy team.

Who we're looking for:

• A degree or similar qualification in Earth Sciences or Geotechnical Engineering.
• Demonstrable experience within the Ground Engineering profession, with first-hand knowledge of Ground Investigation contracting.
• Full UK Driving licence;
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly to client offices and site locations across the UK and overseas;
• Computer literate, capable of using spreadsheets and SharePoint;
• Capable of generating a safe and quality-based culture within the team;
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal;
• A good team player and able to form working relationships with clients and colleagues at all levels;
• CSCS/SMSTS.

What we offer:

Fugro provides a positive work environment as well as projects that will satisfy the most curious minds. We also offer great opportunities to stretch and develop yourself. By giving you the freedom to grow faster, we think you'll be able to do what you do best, better. Which should help us to find fresh ways to get to know the earth better. We encourage you to be yourself at Fugro. So, bring your energy and enthusiasm, your keen eye and can-do attitude. But bring your questions and opinions too. Because to be the world's leading Geo-data specialist, we need the strength in depth that comes from a diverse, driven team.

• Extensive career & training opportunities both nationally and internationally;
• Competitive salary accompanied by an attractive package including contributory pension scheme;
• Flexible working hours and the potential to work 2 days a week from home in accordance with your manager and corporate policies;
• Option to lease an electric car.

Our view on diversity, equity and inclusion

At Fugro, our people are our superpower. Their variety of viewpoints, experiences, knowledge and talents give us collective strength.

Everybody is to be well-supported and treated fairly. And everyone must be valued and have their voice heard. Crucially, we believe that getting this right brings a sense of belonging, of safety and acceptance, that makes us feel more connected to Fugro's purpose 'together we create a safe and liveable world' - and to each other.
