  • Extensive experience in geotechnical analysis and design, particularly in seismic geotechnical contexts, including shallow and deep foundation design, soil-structure interaction, seismic deformation analysis, seismic response evaluations for dams and embankments, liquefaction assessments, and ground improvement techniques.
  • Proven experience in leading numerical modelling teams utilizing advanced software (e.g., FLAC / FLAC3D, PLAXIS 2D / 3D) and interpreting results.
  • A comprehensive understanding of advanced constitutive soil models, parameter selection, soil-structure interaction, and experience with numerical modelling software alongside standard geotechnical tools.
  • Experience in validating geotechnical numerical analyses and calibrating numerical models.
  • Capability to manage geotechnical numerical analysis processes within interdisciplinary project environments.
  • A drive for digital innovation to enhance AtkinsRéalis' capabilities in advanced geotechnical analysis and design.
  • Exceptional communication skills and the confidence to collaborate with clients and engineers from various disciplines.
  • Strong report writing skills with the ability to oversee the delivery of high-quality documentation and review colleagues' work.
  • A willingness to undertake short-term travel assignments, both domestically and internationally.
  • A valid UK driving licence.
