The duties include undertaking site reconnaissance to identify site features.
• Write desk study reports based on the findings above, including factual aspects, advising on geotechnical constraints, potential risk from contamination due to previous or adjoining land use and recommending the invasive investigation work phase.
• Undertake site visits in respect of soil validation sampling, groundwater sampling, gas monitoring, with associated analysis of laboratory testing results and reporting.
• Initiate Statutory Undertakers and service provider’s enquiries in respect of ground investigations, mobilise suitable plant for the execution of investigations and coordinate access prior to site attendance.
• Attend site during the investigation process to direct fieldwork, record trial hole and borehole, undertake in‑situ testing, organise and retain soil samples for future analysis.
• Assess retained soil samples, prepare samples for laboratory testing, receive results and analyse and record results.
• Prepare report appendices, including (but not exclusively) trial hole and borehole logs, site and location plans, site history records, tabulated testing results etc.
• Develop the skills in relation to the preparation of factual and interpretive reporting, recording the site, its location, and context within the landscape, local geology, history of the site and impacts from the previous occupancy, describing the investigation process and records obtained.
• Develop the reporting skills further in preparing interpretive contents describing the geotechnical constraints on future development, impacts on construction materials and techniques, and providing solutions/design parameters for sub‑structure options related to the development proposals.
• Develop the skills in ground contamination assessments, determining the strategies and validating remediation schemes and reporting on associated matters.
• Liaison with clients, design team professionals, approval bodies and individuals on project matters.
• Assist in all areas of project and general office administration as required including (but not exclusively), general enquiries, report production, resource planning, programming, ordering, and similar matters.
