Are you excited by turning raw geological samples into meaningful insights that shape safer, more resilient infrastructure? As a Field and Core Logging Engineer at Fugro, you will help unlock Geo-data that supports renewable energy projects, transport networks, coastal protection and more. You will work onshore in the geotechnical laboratory and offshore on live site investigations, contributing to high-quality data collection for engineering teams and global clients. You will report to Senior Core Logging Engineers onshore and support Lead Shift Engineers or Site Managers offshore, joining a collaborative team focused on curiosity, precision and continuous learning. If you enjoy hands-on technical work, varied environments and growing your geotechnical expertise, this is an ideal opportunity to advance your career.
