Kick-start your career in geo-environmental and geotechnical consultancy

At Brownfield Solutions, we recognise that a successful career in geoscience doesn’t follow a single path. With more people choosing to enter the industry directly from schools and colleges, we have developed our Training Academy to provide a clear, structured route into the field.

From day one, trainees are actively involved in real projects, gaining valuable hands-on experience in both office and  site-based roles. Our structured training programme is designed to develop technical skills and industry knowledge while working alongside experienced professionals.
