* Use (and help others use) leading geotechnical software such as Geo5, with Plaxis experience an added bonus.
Engage and Influence
* Be the trusted point of contact for clients, building strong relationships and ensuring their vision is brought to life.
* Champion clear communication and proactive problem-solving throughout the project lifecycle.
