Provide geotechnical and engineering geological support to major Defence, Nuclear and Energy projects from optioneering and concept design through detailed design, value engineering and construction support.
Undertake geotechnical desk studies.
Design and supervise ground investigations to support the development of both routine and seismically qualified structures.
Review and interpret ground investigation data to develop robust site characterisation and geotechnical ground models for routine and seismically qualified design solutions.
Undertake geotechnical analyses and numerical modelling using software such as PLAXIS, FLAC, WALLAP, GEOSTUDIO, SETTLE3 or equivalent packages to support design development and verification.
Deliver geotechnical analyses and designs for foundations, retaining structures, excavations, ground improvement, earthworks and soil-structure interaction problems.
Contribute to technical excellence, innovation and best practice within the Ground Engineering team.
Develop and maintain strong client relationships and support business development activities.
Collaborate closely with structural, civil, seismic, nuclear and environmental specialists.
