About the Opportunity:

Amentum is expanding its UK Ground Engineering capability to support a growing portfolio of projects across the Defence, Nuclear, Energy, Environment and Government-Owned Critical Infrastructure sectors. We are seeking talented Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologists who are motivated by technical problem-solving, collaboration and the opportunity to deliver innovative solutions for some of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects.

As a Geotechnical Engineer / Engineering Geologist within Amentum, you will:

  • Provide geotechnical and engineering geological support to major Defence, Nuclear and Energy projects from optioneering and concept design through detailed design, value engineering and construction support.
  • Undertake geotechnical desk studies.
  • Design and supervise ground investigations to support the development of both routine and seismically qualified structures.
  • Review and interpret ground investigation data to develop robust site characterisation and geotechnical ground models for routine and seismically qualified design solutions.
  • Undertake geotechnical analyses and numerical modelling using software such as PLAXIS, FLAC, WALLAP, GEOSTUDIO, SETTLE3 or equivalent packages to support design development and verification.
  • Deliver geotechnical analyses and designs for foundations, retaining structures, excavations, ground improvement, earthworks and soil-structure interaction problems.
  • Contribute to technical excellence, innovation and best practice within the Ground Engineering team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
