Candidates as a minimum should have a degree in a relevant subject and would typically have a master’s degree. Senior engineer candidates should be a chartered geologist or working towards chartership, be knowledgeable about soil mechanics and be well-practiced with routine geotechnical assessments (e.g. providing foundation recommendations, advice on suitable ground improvement and earthworks methods, slope stability and settlement modelling), and hold a full UK driving license.
