You would be required to support the team leader with the co-ordination of team workload and coaching of less experienced Engineers.

Technically, your work will involve desk studies and organisation of ground investigations, preparation of investigative reports, design and preparation of specifications, client liaison, site attendance and provision of specialist advice to internal and external clients.
