• A full driver's license (Class 1).
• Able to lift items weighing 25+ kg on a regular basis; and
• Computer literate, especially in Microsoft Excel and Word.
• Able to work autonomously with little supervision but also collaborate with team members when required.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Have a high work standard and good attention to detail.

Our benefits:

• Exposure to a variety of professional experts and projects; Geotechnics is involved in a number of large-scale projects, as well as smaller community-focused projects
• A highly supportive team environment where you are encouraged to pave your own career path that caters to your ambitions
• Professional memberships and continued education support
• Internal training programs
• Mentoring programs
• $500 annual well-being allowance and well-being programme
• An active social club
• Free fruit baskets and morning teas (we love morning teas at Geotechnics!)
