Job Introduction
️ Senior Geotechnical / Geo-Environmental Consultant
Do boreholes, conceptual site models and soil logs spark joy? Do you enjoy a day that might start on site in steel-toecaps and end fine-tuning a report with a really good cup of coffee?
If so, keep reading.
About Lucion
Lucion is a purpose-led, technology-enabled environmental consultancy. We help clients across construction, infrastructure, energy and beyond to develop responsibly by understanding — and reducing — environmental risk.
Our Geo-Environmental Division specialises in site investigation, land quality assessment and technical advice that turns uncertainty into informed decisions (and fewer surprises later on).
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Geotechnical or Geo-Environmental Consultant to join our Bristol office. This is a hands-on role for someone with around 5 years’ consultancy experience who enjoys variety — fieldwork, reporting, problem-solving and helping projects run smoothly.
You’ll work on a broad mix of contaminated land and ground risk projects, while also playing a key role in supporting and mentoring junior colleagues in a friendly, collaborative team.
What You’ll Be Doing
No two weeks are the same, but you can expect to:
Plan and deliver site investigations and environmental monitoring works
Lead field-based elements of Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 assessments
Prepare and review clear, high-quality factual and interpretive reports
Interpret laboratory data and build robust conceptual site models
Support project management — budgets, programmes and client communication
Liaise with contractors, laboratories and other suppliers
Assist with proposals, fee estimates and winning new work
Champion high standards of health and safety (always)
Help develop junior team members through hands-on learning and support
About You
You’re technically capable, organised and curious. You’re just as comfortable on site as you are writing reports, and you enjoy taking ownership of your work — while still being part of a team.
You’ll likely have:
Around 5 years’ experience in geotechnical or geo-environmental consultancy
Experience delivering contaminated land and ground risk projects
Strong reporting and data interpretation skills
A practical, solutions-focused mindset
An interest in mentoring and supporting others
Why Join Lucion?
Because you’ll be trusted with responsibility, supported by experienced colleagues, and given room to grow — all while doing work that genuinely helps developments happen responsibly.
Also: Bristol’s a great place to be, and we think ground investigations should be interesting, not boring.
