I'm working with a growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancy who are looking to add an Intermediate Geotechnical Engineer to their expanding Geo team in South Manchester. The business works across a varied range of sectors including commercial, industrial, residential, healthcare and infrastructure, with the Geo team working closely alongside their Civil and Structural Engineering teams. The role offers a good mix of office-based work, UK-wide site visits and some flexibility to work from home.
The Role
You'll be involved across a range of geotechnical projects, with responsibilities including:
- Reviewing existing ground investigation and geotechnical information
- Designing and specifying site investigations
- Producing geotechnical interpretative reports and specifications
- Providing technical advice to project teams
- Supervising large-scale earthworks projects
- Carrying out assessments relating to foundations, earthworks, slope stability and settlement
- Working on ground improvement, mineral workings and natural cavity-related projects
There is also the opportunity to gain exposure to geo-environmental work, including ground risk assessments, laboratory testing strategies and remediation recommendations.
About You
We're looking for an experienced Geotechnical Engineer with a solid grounding in geotechnical principles and consultancy experience. Ideally, you'll have experience with:
- Foundations and earthworks
- Slope stability and settlement assessments
- Ground improvement
- Mineral workings and natural cavities
- Ground investigation and interpretation
Experience with AutoCAD, Rocscience (Slide2/Settle3) or Oasys (pDisp) would be useful, although not essential. You'll also need strong communication skills, a proactive approach and the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
The Opportunity
This is a good opportunity to join a growing consultancy where you'll have the chance to work on a varied project portfolio, collaborate closely with Civil and Structural Engineers and continue developing your technical experience. The business places a strong emphasis on technical development, collaboration and progression, with the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the team continues to grow.
