This is a role for an infrastructure Geotechnical Engineer, to join a client organisation building the biggest High Speed Rail Project in Europe. We are looking for someone who can make Independent Engineering Judgements, on a wide scope of Geotechnical projects associated with the design, build and maintaince of a new high speed railway project
The scheme is the largest in Europe, and thus the works still encompasses the full cycle from Ground Investigation, though to assets being handed back by the Intregrated Project Teams into the maintenance stage.
You will be a Chartered Engineer, perhaps with a Master’s degree, likely to be holding a Principle Engineer’s position in industry. You will have design experience, and be strong technically as an engineer, this isn’t a project managers role, and suits someone that wishes to keep developing their technical engineering skills.
The project has developed it’s own standards, building upon Bristish Standards and eurocodes such as 7. They have been developed to support high speed rail, but they do not expect you to have experience of their standards yet, but you will require large civil engineering technical experience, perhaps gained from highways or major, rail projects.
The clients encourages the Geotechnical Engineers to develop site experience, to experience the project as it is being developed. This is a central team, with oversight over the whole project, and thus the work is varied, acting as a subject matter expert for the project teams, main works civil contractors and internal clients.
Much has been innovated on this project, with considerable research being published and your input would help shape policy and procedures going forward. This is a core central role, that spans the entire project from design, build, test, commissioning and then maintenance.
So if you are an accomplished principle geotechnical engineer, who wants to remain technically focussed my client would be keen to speak to you. ( London based Engineers will be considered, but there will be weekly travel to Birmingham )
