Careers at Mining Subsidence Consultants
Join Cornwall's leading subsidence repair team and build a rewarding career in specialist ground engineering.
Working With Us
We're a growing team of specialists passionate about solving complex ground engineering and structural challenges. Based in St Austell, we serve the whole of Cornwall and pride ourselves on doing excellent work for every client. Our work is varied, challenging, and deeply satisfying — every project is different, and every successful repair makes a real difference to a homeowner's life.
As a specialist subsidence firm, we offer something that larger general contractors can't — the opportunity to develop genuine expertise in a niche field. Our team members become true specialists in ground stabilisation, structural repair, and the particular challenges of Cornwall's geology and building stock. This depth of expertise is valued by clients, insurers, and the wider construction industry.
We believe in investing in our people. Whether you're an experienced ground engineer looking for a new challenge, a structural trades professional wanting to specialise, or a graduate starting your career, we provide the training, mentoring, and hands-on experience needed to develop your skills and advance your career within the company.
What We Look For
We value attitude and aptitude as much as qualifications. The ideal candidate is someone who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly with clients and colleagues, and is genuinely interested in solving technical problems. Cornwall-specific experience is a bonus but not essential — we provide comprehensive training on local geology, construction methods, and our specialist techniques.
Roles we typically recruit for include ground engineering operatives, structural masonry repair specialists, site supervisors, project managers, and administrative support staff. We also welcome speculative applications from experienced professionals in related fields who are interested in transitioning to subsidence specialist work.
Benefits of Working With Us
- Competitive salary packages
- Company vehicle for site-based roles
- Ongoing professional training
- Pension scheme contributions
- Cornwall-based work — no long-distance travel
- Varied and intellectually challenging projects
- Small team culture — your contribution matters
- Career progression opportunities
Life in Cornwall
Cornwall offers an exceptional quality of life. With stunning coastline, beautiful countryside, vibrant towns, and a strong sense of community, it's a fantastic place to live and work. Our St Austell base provides easy access to both the north and south coasts, and our team members enjoy a work-life balance that's hard to find in larger cities.
If you're considering relocating to Cornwall, we're happy to discuss what it's like to live and work here. Several of our team members have relocated from other parts of the UK and can share their experiences.
