Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing geotechnical and geo-environmental projects from inception through to completion.

- Producing interpretative reports, geotechnical assessments and technical documentation.
- Undertaking foundation, retaining wall, earthworks and slope stability assessments.

- Managing project programmes, budgets and resources.
- Liaising directly with clients, contractors and multidisciplinary project teams.
- Supporting fee proposals and contributing to business development.
- Developing and maintaining strong client relationships.

- Strong consultancy experience within geotechnical engineering.
- Experience delivering projects across a range of development sectors.
- Strong technical reporting and analytical skills.
- Experience managing projects and supporting or mentoring junior engineers.
- Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
- Commercial awareness and an interest in developing client relationships.
The role would suit a Senior or Principal Geotechnical Engineer looking to step into an Associate position, or an existing Associate looking for a new challenge.
