Principal​/Technical Director Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers Wide - Hy

About the Role

• To help support Amentum’s worldwide $14B F25 forward looking workload and our portfolio of complex and exciting geotechnical projects within the Defence, Nuclear Power, Environment and Government-Owned Critical Infrastructure industries, we are now looking to grow our Ground Engineering capabilities within the UK and are seeking to recruit Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers at a range of experience levels including:

• Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer

• Senior Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer (Chartered or approaching).

• Principal Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer (Chartered).

• Associate director Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer (Chartered)

We are operating under flexible working arrangements, with a mixture of office-based and home working environments. Bristol office would be the preferred base-office, although other offices, such as Oxford, Reading, London or Glasgow etc can also be considered.

As a Ground Engineering Professional within Amentum, you will play a critical role in managing ground risk by delivering geotechnical assessment, analysis, design and construction supervision to a diverse range of existing and future projects across the UK and internationally. This work will involve:

• Preliminary source, feasibility, value engineering, innovation and sustainability studies.

• Land and overwater ground investigations including advanced in situ and laboratory testing and data management.

• Ground characterisation, parametrisation and modelling of soil and rock.

• Numerical and FE analyses of geotechnical problems, including seismic and dynamic analysis.

• Geotechnical analysis and design of innovative and sustainable structures, including:

• Routine and complex design within soil and rock, SSI and seismic SSSI

• Deep and shallow foundations, retaining walls, basements and cofferdams, Earthworks, reinforced earth and geotextiles, Ground Improvement including vibrational, mixing and grouting methodologies, Ground anchors, soil nails, rock bolts etc

• Specification for construction purposes and Technical construction assurance.

• Providing guidance, support, and supervision to team members, fostering their professional growth and ensuring high-quality deliverables.

• Bid Preparation:
  Assist in the preparation of bids, ensuring all requirements are met and proposals are compelling and competitive.

• Stakeholder Management:
  Support management in maintaining effective communication and relationships with stakeholders, ensuring their needs and expectations are met.

For the right ground engineering candidates there are opportunities to develop at all levels within our organisation. This would include taking on responsibility for team management, mentoring of junior team members and business development opportunities.

We are interested in seeing your profile if you have experience and competence with a SELECTION of the following:

• Ability to work independently or within multidisciplinary groups;

• Strong technical knowledge of ground engineering with a focus on engineering geology, soil mechanics, rock mechanics and technical leadership relevant to your experience level;

• British geotechnical standards and codes of practise such as BSEN
  1997, BS5930, BS6031, BS8081 etc;

• BSEN
  1998, ASCE Seismic Publications, IAEA Nuclear Safety Standards and ASTM Guides would be beneficial. ;

• Geotechnical desk studies, field mapping and geomorphological assessment;

• Ground investigation including design, specification, supervision, assessment and data management;

• 2D/3D Ground Modelling and Characterisation;

Routine geotechnical analysis, design, specification and technical reporting involving some of the following;

• Foundations, retaining structures, and reinforced earth;

• Landslip, excavations; earthworks; and ground treatment;

• Soil / Rock reinforcement and ground anchors;

• Land quality

• Technical software such as:
  Open Ground, Leapfrog, GEO5 Suite;
  Roc Science Suite;
  Well Cad;
  Auto Cad;
  ArcGIS;
  MathCAD etc, would be beneficial.;

• Degree (BSc, BEng, MEng, MSc) Engineering Geology / Geology, Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering or equivalent.;

• Chartered status…
