The Team
Cundall’s Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering team prides itself on an exemplary track record of providing innovative and sustainable ground engineering solutions, focused on ensuring the best possible construction design advice that improves and protects the environment in which we live, while providing facilities for day‑to‑day life. The Geotechnical Engineering team is an award‑winning source of expertise and offers a proactive and collaborative approach to skill development and professional excellence.
The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Geoenvironmental Engineer, or an Engineering Geologist with an environmental focus, to work on the design of some of the most exciting construction projects in the UK and worldwide. Working closely with colleagues across our multi‑disciplinary practice, you will provide specialist consultancy input on projects across all sectors including Education, Healthcare, Critical Systems, Industrial, Residential, and Retail.
In this wide‑ranging role, you will undertake detailed geoenvironmental analysis, lead site investigation and risk assessments (including Phase I and II land quality risk assessments and environmental due diligence), and undertake remediation design and verification. You will manage and mentor junior staff and undertake detailed technical reviews of reports.
The Skills
Ideally, you are chartered and have a minimum of six years in consultancy, with a BSc degree (or equivalent) in geology, engineering geology, earth sciences, geochemistry or environmental science. You have extensive experience in a broad range of engineering geology and geoenvironmental engineering work including Phase I and Phase II assessments, waste classification, remediation method statements/strategies, remediation supervision and verification. You have carried out Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) for Human Health and/or Controlled Waters, and have extensive experience scoping, conducting and interpreting site investigations for a wide variety of schemes including large/tall buildings in complex urban environments and masterplanning.
To succeed in this role you will have a broad understanding of engineering geology and contaminated land issues, proven working knowledge of BS 5930/Eurocode 7, BS 10175, CIRIA 552, 665, 733 & 758, BS 8485, BRE‑SD1, LCRM and WM3, and the ability to produce detailed, robust and defensible ground models and conceptual site models. Experience of undertaking Tier 1 and Tier 2 qualitative and semi‑quantitative contaminated land risk assessment is also essential. You will demonstrate the ability to manage and develop junior members and relate to senior geotechnical staff and other Cundall disciplines in a supportive and collaborative manner. Some basic geotechnical knowledge (assessment of appropriate bearing capacity, settlement analysis, working knowledge of earthworks, etc.) and an MSc education would be advantageous.
