Your purpose

• Chartered status, proven experience in a fast-moving engineering consultancy environment.
• Project management: experience in client relationships, work planning and commercial management in the engineering consultancy and design markets.
• Proven geotechnical design experience and numerical/analytical capabilities for structures, foundations, slopes and anchors using appropriate tools and workflows (e.g., GeoStudio, Repute, Wallap).
• Digital geotechnical engineering capability including the application of AI and machine learning in geotechnical design.
• CDM Regulations in a design and ground investigation environment. Excellent interpersonal and technical skills and the ability to develop and lead geotechnical design teams.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to liaise and build relationships with clients to support effective work-winning delivery.
• Good commercial track record in negotiating and running successful jobs to support “right first time” project delivery. Excellent report writing skills with the ability to self-check and produce accurate work.
