About the Role
As a Senior Geo-environmental Consultant at Tetra Tech, you will shape ground risk strategies behind complex, high-value projects influencing how places are planned, designed, and delivered. You will play a key role within the Ground Risk and Remediation team, supporting a broad portfolio of medium and large-scale projects across renewable energy, transport, property, residential, and water sectors. Your responsibilities will include delivering geo-environmental work from desk studies, fieldwork, feasibility studies, and risk assessments through to planning, design, and construction phases. This role requires a combination of field experience, technical diligence, project management, and client engagement skills.

You will manage projects and budgets ranging from a few thousand to several hundred thousand pounds, support senior staff, and provide practical, risk-based assessments of contaminated land and controlled waters, remediation, and ground investigation. You will be part of a collaborative, high-performing team with opportunities to mentor junior staff.

In the short term, you will take ownership of live projects ensuring delivery, cost control, and quality. In the medium term, you will help grow repeat business, broaden exposure to major multidisciplinary work, and take a stronger role in shaping technical delivery. Long term, this role offers clear progression towards becoming a trusted technical leader with expanding influence across the business.

Tetra Tech is a leading global consulting and engineering services provider, supporting public and private sector clients with sustainable and resilient solutions. We foster a collaborative environment that encourages innovation, creativity, and individual performance.
