Ground Engineering and Tunnelling graduate scheme - Infrastructure

As a Graduate Engineering Geologist, Geotechnical or Tunnelling Engineer on our prestigious graduate programme you could be involved in one of the most exciting civil engineering sectors. You’ll help to support and deliver the technical aspects of a variety of engineering and multidisciplinary designs across a range of challenging and exciting projects in the UK and internationally. You could play a part in designing and constructing new and innovative infrastructure in the road, rail and water markets, working on tunnelling and power supply projects, or maybe geohazard assessments or offshore geotechnics. Together we share knowledge and create a better, more sustainable future for all by safeguarding our natural resources. Whatever your ambitions we’ve a role to match your passion and degree, while our training will help you achieve Chartered status and develop industry skills that are highly sought after.

Our Ground Engineering team is committed to providing world class geotechnical and engineering geology services to infrastructure and global energy clients, focusing on the engineering behaviour of the ground for complex new build and asset life extension projects. You’ll get involved in a broad range of activities including site investigation, 3D ground modelling, geohazard & terrain evaluation, earth structures, foundation design and ground improvement, in both the onshore and offshore environments. 

Key duties include:

  • Desk studies and site reconnaissance.
  • Site walkovers and inspections. 
  • Specification, planning and procurement of ground investigations. 
  • Supervision of ground investigation works on site.
  • Checking of factual geotechnical data obtained from ground investigations and associated digital data management. 
  • Development of conceptual and observational ground models. 
  • Writing of interpretative reports and derivation of geotechnical parameters for design.
  • Geotechnical design and associated reporting. 
  • Construction supervision.

Degree Requirements: Minimum 2.1 Bachelor’s / BEng or 2.2 Master’s / MEng in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Fluid Modelling Engineering, or related subject

Our team provides technically excellent engineering design of tunnelling, underground, and heavy infrastructure, particularly focused on mass transit, rail and major project programmes. You’ll be supported by a team with expertise in assessment of ground movements, design of complex foundations and ‘ground-contacting’ structures, in addition to the assessment of ventilation and fire life safety aspects of utilising underground space. Here you’ll get the opportunity to take on a wide range of interesting activities, including site work, design, asset impact assessments, life cycle/risk assessments and project management.

Key duties include: 

  • Tunnelling design and associated reporting. 
  • Micro-tunnelling (HDD, Pipejacking, direct pipe). 
  • Large tunnels (TBMs, SCL, Square works).
  • Ground movement assessment and impact assessment. 
  • Tunnel Principal Inspection and Asset management.
  • Shafts, tunnel’s portals and ancillary structures.
  • Undertaking feasibility studies.
  • Specification, planning and procurement of tunnels projects. 
  • Working with specialist software to support planning programmes.
  • Supervision of construction works on site.

Please note that Mechanical Engineering and Computational Fluid Modelling Engineering degrees are only accepted for our Epsom office.
