About the Role
Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets. With over 34,000 people in more than 30 countries, we are dedicated to improving quality of life by solving complex challenges together. Our paid Intern & Placement programme offers a hands-on insight into our work and helps develop skills and knowledge within your chosen field. Supported by structured training, the programme is based on Arcadis’ core values, providing both technical training and personal and professional development.

Early on, you will shadow experienced engineers on site, progress to supervising your own investigations, or contribute as part of a team on larger projects, ensuring delivery to high standards.

You will be guided through obtaining relevant safety qualifications and receive soil and rock logging training under experienced geologists’ supervision. Site work is a key part of your development, alongside producing reports, Health and Safety documentation, and gaining an understanding of the commercial and project planning aspects of ground investigation practice.
