Job Description:

Are you an experienced Geotechnical or Geo-environmental Engineer who wants to work as a crucial member of a successful and established Geology team in Manchester?
My client is an owner-managed private company specialising in ground-related risk management and building fabric investigation. The ground-related specialisms range from geotechnical consultancy to contaminated land assessment. From the four offices, the company offers services nationwide, and on occasion overseas.
The consultancy provides a wide range of services. These include expert consultancy on geotechnical and geo-environmental projects, support with soil waste management and building fabric matters.
You will be leading a project team to deliver high-quality ground investigations, providing innovative and sustainable solutions to all aspects of geo-environmental and geotechnical consultancy. You will be responsible for mentoring, developing, and training your team of 5, reviewing project work, and writing quotes. You will also be assisting the GI Director by actively engaging in business development, enhancing client relationships, and expanding the existing client base.
The Ground Investigation teams are multidisciplinary, covering factual reporting, contaminated land risk assessments, and geotechnical appraisal. A good basis in these topics as well as experience in managing people and demonstrated leadership skills is essential.

Some travel will be required to accommodate client meetings, training, and business development. As a guide, it is envisaged that at least 80% of the role will be office-based.
The team believes in leadership at all levels and supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce. As a Senior Consultant, you will join an experienced team where continued professional development, training, and mentoring are integral to our work. As well as training others, CPD will be actively encouraged and you will be supported to work towards relevant charterships or accreditations to support your areas of interest and specialties as they develop.

1. Minimum 5 years in relevant industry
2. A relevant degree
3. Relevant chartership or working towards it

5. A good understanding of geotechnical analysis
6. Good communication skills (written and verbal)
7. Proactive and positive attitude
8. Problem-solving ability
9. Motivational skills
10. Demonstratable management, leadership, and mentoring skills
