The position offers exposure to technically challenging schemes, practical construction input and the opportunity to develop within one of the UK's most respected specialist ground engineering environments.

The employer is a leading specialist geotechnical and ground engineering contractor with a strong reputation for quality, innovation and technical excellence.
The business delivers foundation and underground engineering solutions across major infrastructure, commercial, residential, energy, marine and public-sector projects.
Its teams work closely with clients at tender and delivery stage to provide practical, buildable and commercially effective geotechnical solutions.

As Geotechnical Design Engineer, you will be involved in the design, analysis and technical coordination of specialist ground engineering projects.
You will prepare calculations, design reports, drawings, specifications and technical submissions while supporting both tender-stage and live project delivery.
The role will require close collaboration with construction teams to ensure designs are practical, efficient, safe and aligned with project requirements.

• Prepare geotechnical designs for specialist ground engineering projects
• Undertake calculations for foundations, retaining walls, embedded walls and temporary works
• Support the design of piling, diaphragm walls, secant piled walls, contiguous piled walls and ground-retention systems
• Assist with designs for basements, deep excavations, ground improvement and slope stability
• Develop practical and buildable solutions in line with project requirements
• Interpret ground investigation data and geotechnical parameters
• Prepare design reports, technical notes and calculation packages
• Apply relevant Eurocodes, British Standards and industry guidance
• Ensure design outputs are accurate, technically robust and properly documented

• Support tender-stage design and value engineering
• Review client requirements, ground investigation reports and technical specifications
• Assist with design assumptions, risk reviews and construction methodology
• Contribute to technical proposals and tender submissions
• Work with estimators, planners and construction teams to develop cost-effective solutions
• Identify technical risks, opportunities and alternative design approaches
• Support optioneering and buildability reviews
• Provide technical input into method statements and project planning

• Provide technical support to project and site teams during construction
• Respond to design queries and technical issues raised during delivery
• Review site information and update designs where required
• Liaise with internal project teams, clients, consultants and subcontractors
• Support temporary works and construction-phase design requirements
• Attend design meetings, technical reviews and project workshops
• Assist with design changes, variations and technical approvals
• Maintain clear communication between design and construction teams

• Prepare design calculations, sketches, reports and specifications
• Support the production and review of drawings and technical submissions
• Coordinate with CAD technicians and wider design teams
• Maintain accurate design records and document control
• Assist with checking and reviewing technical information
• Ensure work is completed in accordance with quality procedures
• Support design risk assessments and CDM requirements
• Contribute to project close-out documentation where required

• Use appropriate geotechnical design and analysis software
• Undertake hand calculations and independent design checks where required
• Support numerical analysis and modelling where appropriate
• Review outputs critically and ensure assumptions are clearly recorded
  
  Use CAD and technical drawing information to support design development
• Develop technical competence across specialist geotechnical systems

You will be a technically focused geotechnical engineer with experience in design, analysis and project support within the UK ground engineering sector.
