We are a multidisciplinary environmental consultancy seeking a Senior to Principal level Geotechnical Consultant to join an established Geotechnical service in our company.
We expect the candidate will need a minimum of 6 to 7 years technical experience before they are considered for the role, with a strong record in the successful delivery of geotechnical engineering design to support the planning sector and preferably a good commercial background.
This role requires someone who has an entrepreneurial mindset and looking for a platform to not only make a difference, but stamp their own identity onto an exciting environmental business. Therefore, the role not only needs somebody who is technically confident, but someone who is not afraid to guide clients through the challenges of overcoming technical problems from the moment a proposal is requested all the way through to delivering an actionable report that will get sites approval.
The candidate will also need to contribute to the development of the wider technical team and will be working closely with other disciplines to ensure that projects are delivered as effectively as possible, and resources and knowledge is shared. Our geotechnical projects are UK based and range from single residential dwellings through to major residential, industrial and infrastructure, environmental impact assessments.
We would expect the candidate to be a chartered (equivalent) engineer, either as a full member or on a route to full membership. We can continue to support you on your professional development where required.
The role will comprise technical and financial management of projects, business development, liaising with regulators and contributing to the on-going development of the team. The successful candidate will have an excellent knowledge of relevant National Guidance and EU Codes (such as Eurocode 7) and an ability to design and co-ordinate geotechnical investigations that may also be combined with environmental investigation. The candidate will need to have gained experience in preparing factual and interpretative reports including detailed recommendations, calculations and foundation design. The candidate will be expected to peer review reports and take an active role in the continuing improvements and quality of the report being prepared.
A full UK driving license is essential as there will be the need to travel within the UK, with occasional stop overs.
We offer competitive remuneration packages, which will depend on qualifications and experience. We offer a friendly and flexible working environment and encourage professional development and training for all our staff.
