About the Role
At Curtins, we're an employee-owned engineering consultancy driven by a simple ambition: to create a better built environment for everyone. For over 65 years, we've delivered practical, innovative and sustainable solutions that positively impact communities across the UK and Ireland. Our Geo-Environmental team plays a key role by helping clients understand ground conditions, manage land contamination risks and unlock the development potential of sites safely and sustainably. As a Graduate Geo-Environmental Engineer, you'll join a supportive team of specialists passionate about understanding the ground beneath our projects. You will gain hands-on experience in contaminated land assessment, ground investigations, remediation strategies, environmental risk management and foundation-related geotechnical challenges. Working alongside experienced engineers and consultants, you'll develop the technical skills and practical knowledge needed to help deliver safe, sustainable and commercially successful developments.

What you'll be doing
You will help clients understand ground conditions and environmental constraints, providing advice that supports safe and sustainable development. Your responsibilities will include assisting with contaminated land and environmental site assessments, supporting Phase 1 Preliminary Risk Assessments and Phase 2 Ground Investigations, interpreting environmental monitoring and laboratory testing data, assisting with environmental risk assessments for human health, controlled waters and ground gases, supporting the development of remediation strategies and verification reports, preparing factual and interpretative geo-environmental reports, and undertaking site visits, environmental monitoring and fieldwork activities.

Projects you will work on
Projects may include brownfield regeneration and redevelopment schemes, former industrial and commercial sites requiring contamination assessment and remediation, residential and mixed-use developments on previously developed land, environmental due diligence and site feasibility assessments, ground investigation and environmental monitoring programmes, remediation, earthworks and materials management projects, land quality support for major infrastructure and strategic development projects, assessment of ground-related risks including contamination, ground gases and controlled waters, sustainable redevelopment projects that bring underutilised land back into beneficial use, and multi-disciplinary projects collaborating with civil, structural and transport engineers to deliver integrated solutions.
