Engineering Geologist

An engineering geologist is a scientist who studies the earth to help make sure buildings, roads, tunnels, and bridges are safe and stable. They analyse rocks, soil, and groundwater to understand what is under the ground before construction starts. Their work helps to predict and prevent problems such as landslides, flooding, or ground collapse. Engineering geologists often work on construction sites, but also spend time in laboratories and offices. They may use special tools and equipment to collect samples and data. This job combines science with engineering and requires problem-solving skills, good communication, and an interest in the natural world.
