Who Are We?
- We are McGee. A specialist engineering contractor, with a reputation for designing and delivering some of London’s most complex and innovative civil engineering projects. To name just a few: Constructing Europe’s deepest habitable basement, The Londoner Hotel. Delivering the impossible at Claridge’s Hotel’s mega basement and more recently, designing out 88% of The Acre’s embodied carbon of the temporary works.
- We provide a value-based integrated approach. Focusing on quality and innovation.
- We develop smart engineering solutions to complex problems and develop methods of working that enable fast delivery with safety and quality by design.
- We operate a risk-based approach in everything that we do, identifying and mitigating risks through our planning.
- We compliment this with our in-house supply chain, self-delivery philosophy and our support services.
- We have technical and operational specialists within each of our core disciplines, including an in-house Construction Engineering team (CET), providing temporary works sequences and solution design and digital modelling.
The Role:
We are looking for an experienced Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our in-house Construction Engineering Team. This is a key role where you will play an important part in delivering geotechnical design and analysis for complex temporary works on high-profile London projects. You will be responsible for:
- Geotechnical analysis and design from feasibility through to detailed design (throughout tender and live project stages)
- Developing innovative and practical engineering solutions, challenging briefs where necessary
- Producing clear, buildable, and efficient design solutions aligned with construction methodologies
- Identifying, mitigating and managing geotechnical and construction risks
- Collaborating closely with project, construction, and temporary works teams to ensure designs are deliverable within programme and site constraints
About You:
- Ideally, at least 5 years’ experience in geotechnical design within a consultancy or contractor design team
- Competence in understanding and interpreting geotechnical investigation data
- Experience across geotechnical analysis software (primarily WALLAP and PLAXIS 2D)
- Strong understanding of geotechnical design codes and processes
- Ability to translate complex analysis into practical, buildable solutions
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
This is more than a design role, you’ll be part of a team delivering some of the most challenging engineering projects in London, where your work has real impact from design through to construction.
We’re on the cusp of our next big leap and this is an excellent opportunity for you to make your mark…..
