Occupation

Geotechnical engineers

Geotechnical engineers apply geological knowledge for the assessment of sites, soils, slope stability, sediments and other observable characteristics in the Earth. They integrate this information in the planning and development of projects in those places. They assess and answer questions concerning the geological characteristics of soils by performing research and experiments.

For each ITL region, we divide the proportion of job adverts for an occupation by the proportion for all occupations - this gives us a measure of which regions have proportionally more or less job adverts for each occupation - we call this the "location quotient". We display the ITL regions with the highest location quotients for this occupation.
