An MSc is preferable.
You will have extensive experience of scoping, conducting and interpreting site investigations for a wide variety of schemes including for large / tall buildings in complex urban environments, and for masterplanning. Ideally you will be able to demonstrate some experience within the data centre and energy sectors as well as having temporary works experience.
To succeed in this role, you will have a broad understanding of engineering geology and be a specialist in your skill set. You will have proven working knowledge of guidance including BS 5930/Eurocode 7, BS10175, CIRIA 552, 665, 733 & 758, BS8485, BRE‑SD1, LCRM and WM3. You will demonstrate the ability to use ground engineering software relevant to your area of expertise.
You will be able to demonstrate your ability to manage and develop more junior members of the team and relate to more senior ground engineering staff and other Cundall engineering disciplines in a supportive and collaborative manner. You will have proven experience in building client relationships both externally and internally. Given the collaborative and client‑focused nature of this role, excellent communication skills and the ability to use initiative and negotiating skills to overcome challenges are essential.
