  • Produce and contribute to: CQA documentation, Validation and verification reports, Technical records for regulatory submission
  • Liaise with contractors, designers, consultants and regulators as the site-based engineering lead

Requirements

  • Degree-qualified in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering or related discipline

  • Experience working under CQA / QA frameworks on construction or infrastructure projects
  • Solid understanding of geotechnical principles, materials and testing regimes
