Yes there are geotechnical engineering jobs in Australia. The following link gives you a list of jobs in Australia that have to do with geotechnical engineering. It also gives information about each job, its salary, and other important information. http://www.engineeringjobs.net.au/jobs.nsf/JobsByQuery/j/Geotechnical+Engineer

There are quite a few options for a geotechnical position in the field of engineering. For instance, many civil engineering firms have qualified personnel simply for geotechnical field testing. There are also land surveying firms that offer geotechnical support as sub contractors to consulting firms.

The seven fields are structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, materials engineering, environmental engineering and construction.

In conjunction with developing private and public engineering projects a geotechnical engineer will work to ensure that it will also keep the integrity of the earth and the physical environment.
