Transport for London (TfL) Engineers are always looking forward. Join us in one of our Central Engineering, Transport System Engineering or Infrastructure Engineering teams and, as well as maintaining legacy assets, you’ll deliver new systems and solutions. There’s more to it than tubes, roads, buildings and bridges. This is about connecting communities and creating opportunities, so we’re ready for the 21st century and beyond.

Day-to-day, your focus will be on delivering designs, drawings, information, calculations and enhancements that keep vital, innovative and big-budget projects moving. You’ll make sure assets are safe, working and compliant; develop your own solutions; and be a trusted source of engineering advice for everyone, including our Heads of Engineering Delivery.

As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you will have a Civil Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering Degree and be a chartered Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers or The Geological Society.

You will have experience in geotechnical inspection, ground investigation, monitoring, assessment, design and stabilisation of earth structures as well as design of foundations, retaining walls and earthworks in a railway and road environment preferably gained on the TfL network.

Knowledge of legislation, technical standards and industry best practice related to earth structures and geotechnical engineering is essential. Ability to use key geotechnical design software Slope/W is essential and other software such as Wallap, Repute, Palxis and others is desirable.

As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you may be involved in the design and construction of major projects within TfL, as well as reviewing designs carried out by others and providing independent design checks.  You will also be required to provide technical support to the other members within the team.

The more teams you’ve led, the better. But it’s important you bring a passion for the TfL Vision and strategy too. That’s because, wherever you join us, you’ll explore work of unparalleled scale, scope and variety across a unique range of projects, as you build your career and expertise. So come and bring on tomorrow, as an Engineer at TfL.

Our goal is to make our recruitment as inclusive as possible. We are a disability confident employer who guarantee an interview to any disabled candidate who meets all of the essential criteria.
