Our client focusses across multiple sectors, including infrastructure, rail, highways, energy, high-rise and basement construction.

In this role as a Principal Geotechnical Engineer, you will be supporting the Team Lead and Senior Leadership with mentoring and managing more junior and inexperienced members of the design team. In this role, you’ll be expected to push yourself hard, managing project delivery, acting as a technical knowledge and advice beacon, getting involved with hands-on design work, and proving yourself suitable for AD and Manager roles by setting an example with BD/Commercial development.

To be successful in this role you must have:

• 8-12 years’ experience working in a fast-paced Geotechnical Design consultancy
• Achieved Chartered Engineer Status
• A degree in Civil Engineering or similar
• The right to live and work in the UK
• The ability to be based around Birmingham
• A desire to get involved in the nitty-gritty of running a team

This is a great opportunity to work with an organisation that is offering a clear and short path to career progression. If you are looking for a role where you can support the TD and keep hands-on with your design work then this is the opportunity for you.
