Job description

Binnies' geotechnical team continues to grow due to ongoing successes in tendering.

Our work also includes supporting the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, and the Canals and River Trust.

We are expanding our services to include more advanced geotechnical solutions and complex designs, such as temporary works. This offers our staff opportunities to learn new skills and be involved in new projects, especially as many schemes are design and build, allowing us to see our designs come to life.

These Senior Engineer roles involve supporting junior colleagues and both originating and reviewing designs.

About the Role:

• Checking the work of junior staff
• Designing a range of geotechnical engineering solutions
• Design and supervision of ground investigations
• Interpreting ground investigation results
• Preparing geological sections and drawings
• Conducting site visits

You should demonstrate the following qualifications, skills, and knowledge:

• Masters degree in Civil Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering (preferred)
• Chartered status with ICE or IoM3 (desirable)
• Full UK driving license for site visits

Additional skills include:

• Ability to work remotely
• Experience working in multidisciplinary teams with stakeholders and contractors
• Proactive problem-solving skills
• Successful planning and organization skills
• A passion for engineering

If you want to work in a supportive environment that values growth, diversity, and work-life balance, Binnies is the place for you. We have a strong 'ENGAGED' culture, with flexible and hybrid working arrangements, and promote inclusivity and diversity.

Join us to develop from great to truly exceptional with Binnies.
