Join Our Growing Geotechnical Team in Perth Our WA Geotechnical Team is expanding, and we want you to be part of it If you're a Geotechnical Engineer eager to further develop your skills in both geotechnical and structural engineering—or simply someone who thrives on solving complex problems—this is an exciting opportunity for you. Join a team that values learning, development, and innovation, equipping you with the skills to excel and grow in your career.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working on small to medium scale projects that deliver real impact for clients while pushing the envelope, implementing best practice approaches and, hopefully, enjoying themselves while they do it.

This opportunity allows you to blend technical knowledge with practicality, developing solutions that are Best for Project and assisting with their implementation and construction.

- Assist the Geotechnical Lead in client relationship development, team training and mentoring, and fostering strong interdepartmental relationships.
- A minimum of Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Masters in Geotechnical Engineering.
- Ideally 5 - 15 years of relevant experience in Geotechnical Engineering within an Australian Engineering consultancy, for either an independent specialist or multi-disciplinary team. Applicants with experience in specialist D&C contractors on the design side would also be considered.
- Foundation solutions (e.g., deep foundations, rafts, piled rafts, etc.).
- Retaining wall / slope design (embedded, gravity, anchored, stabilised, bespoke/hybrid).
- Soil-structure interaction problems and structural design of geotechnical elements.
- Geotechnical parameter interpretation and assessment.
- Factual and Interpretive geotechnical report writing.
- Construction phase, Contractor-side or other Site experience, particularly: Temporary Works Designs, Construction Support Roles, or Management of Site Investigations and Reporting to AS1726.
- Proficiency in software packages such as Plaxis 2D & 3D, Slide2, Slope/W or equivalent.
- Expert-level Excel or programming skills in JS, VBA, Python, etc., would be advantageous.
- Sound understanding of AS1726, AS2159 and AS5100, as well as familiarity with CIRIA C760 and Eurocode 7 (Geotechnical), and AS4100 and AS3600 (Structural).
- Be working towards Chartered Status and Professional Engineering accreditation.
