Geotechnical Group Engineer City Development Department - Highways and Transportation


£37,849 - £40,760 per annum plus excellent benefits

Geotechnical engineering is really at the heart of the department, and if you are someone who likes to be involved in large and complex projects that will underpin the infrastructure of the Leeds City Region, then we want to speak to you.

Leeds City Council is the second largest Local Authority in the country, and our ambition for Leeds is to have a strong economy within a compassionate city.

It is an exciting time in the Leeds City Region and the infrastructure and highways network is imperative when it comes to keeping communities and businesses connected.

About the role
The Site Developments Service plays a vital role in supporting the delivery of regeneration and new development projects, and are in the process of restructuring and reshaping service delivery. You will have an opportunity to participate and influence the development of services, supporting the delivery of some flagship projects both within Leeds and the surrounding areas.

Managing a small but highly skilled team, you will be involved in a diverse range of geotechnical projects that will help transform the city and surrounding areas. The primary focus will be on highways and infrastructure and your team will deliver ground investigations and land appraisals.

  • Design and conduct groundwork investigations
  • Draw up work programmes and allocate work to staff and sub-contractors
  • Author geotechnical and geo-environmental interpretative reports, including all calculations
  • Prepare estimates, monitor performance against budget and compile reports
  • Provide clients with verbal advice in respect to current and future projects, including interim technical opinion and advice
  • Liaise with clients, landowners, police and any other interested parties with regard to implementation of site investigation works
  • Maintain good technical knowledge of appropriate specifications, codes of practice and manuals, including those relating to contaminated land.


About you
You will be a highly motivated engineer who can already demonstrate a successful career to date in the geotechnical field. It is imperative that you have strong technical knowledge, excellent report writing skills and the ability to interpret complex data. In addition, we are seeking applications from candidates who have excellent commercial awareness and who will thrive in a people role. Building relationships internally and externally is crucial, so your ability to communicate effectively is very important.
