  • Designing and supervising earthworks and compaction specifications.
  • Assisting the team leads with the preparation of fee proposals.
  • Being an active member of the ground engineering team, working collaboratively with the wider team and acting as a mentor for junior staff members.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Experience of managing projects to completion and reporting to the standards required by planning authorities, Mining Remediation Authority, Natural Resources Wales, Environment Agency and other similar bodies.
  • Experience of preparing a wide range of technical reports.
  • Experience of applying for Mining Remediation Authority licenses and permits.
  • Proficient at designing ground investigations and preparing bills of quantities.
  • Competent at supervising ground investigations and earthworks.
  • Experience of supervising ground stabilisation such as drilling and grouting mine workings would be advantageous but not essential.
  • Good knowledge of relevant UK and European legislation, policy and guidance, including BS5930, and Euro Code 7.
  • Experience of networking events or willingness to participate in such events.
  • SSSTS, CSCS and PTS qualified (Desirable but not essential).
  • A full UK driving licence essential and access to own car is essential.

We offer

  • Hybrid home/office working arrangement.
  • Membership of the Firm's Group Personal Pension Plan, with Employer's contribution of up to 5%.
  • Payment of a relevant professional subscription.
  • 24 days annual leave per year.
  • Membership to the Firm's Private Health Care Scheme.
