The Opportunity

We're looking for a detail-oriented Geotechnical Engineer to support our instrumentation and monitoring programs.

In this role, you'll be responsible for the installation, maintenance, and interpretation of geotechnical instrumentation used to assess ground conditions, slope stability, and structural performance. You will work closely with field teams and geotechnical specialists to ensure accurate data collection, timely reporting, and effective risk mitigation strategies.

Our work spans a variety of sectors — including mining, civil, renewables, dams and hydropower and transport infrastructure — offering you the chance to innovate, collaborate, and grow in a role with real impact.

Key Responsibilities
  • Plan and oversee installation of geotechnical instruments in the field (e.g., piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers).
  • Perform regular data collection, validation, and analysis.
  • Interpret monitoring results to assess ground and structural behaviour.
  • Generate reports and provide geotechnical input to project teams.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards in the field.
  • Collaborate with design, construction, and operations teams to support decision-making.
What You'll Bring
  • A Degree in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering, or similar.
  • Experience gained in geotechnical engineering and instrumentation and monitoring systems is preferred but not essential.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Personal time management and project management capabilities.
  • Excellent communication and reporting abilities.

You'll also have enthusiasm and flexibility to travel (remote areas and interstate), strong collaboration skills along with the confidence to work individually when required.

Benefits
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work options, study breaks, and the ability to buy extra leave—up to 8 weeks per year.
  • Diverse Projects: Work across a wide variety of projects, clients, and sectors.
  • Growth Opportunities: Professional development, coaching, and mentorship from our top experts.
  • Memberships: Professional memberships to help you stay ahead in your field.
  • Recognition: Our reward and recognition program makes sure your hard work doesn't go unnoticed.
  • Ownership: Participate in our employee stock purchase plan.
  • Parental Leave: Paid leave for both primary and secondary caregivers.
  • Support: Employee assistance program for you and your immediate family.
  • Salary sacrifice: Pre-tax options to top up your super.
  • Travel Discounts: Great deals through our corporate traveller program.
