Re: Engineering geologist from the UK looking for advice
The problem is that in the UK and most of the rest of the world, geotechs are used a lot in big projects. Heck, build anything much bigger than a house in the rest of the world and a geo will be used. Even houses in the UK built in inner city areas will often have a ground investigation done in case of contaminated land by a geo. Here they don't. Building projects prefer civil engineers.
Then there is the issue that there are a lot of guys that have been laid off from mining chasing the odd non mining roles.

No there isn't. I have just spent the morning - as usual - job hunting. I found one contaminated land role. Which I applied for.

There are a lot of geotech roles in NZ at the moment. Coffey are advertising heavily. Though most require experience.

Re: Engineering geologist from the UK looking for advice
Cheers Paul, but they are oil and gas. I am a hard rock geo. To work in oil and gas you need to be a specialist in that area.
