Geotechnical Senior Engineer / England

Do you have a firm technical understanding of geotechnical engineering for offshore wind?
Do you want to grow your career within a family of 50,000 engineers and the wider offshore wind industry?

We are looking for a Geotechnical Senior Engineer - Offshore wind to be based across the UK and join the offshore wind engineering team. You will be looking to deliver projects using innovative business models and utilising existing, and developing new, digital solutions and design automation.

My client have made a firm commitment to support the energy transition, and central to this is delivering on renewable energy generation. In order to facilitate this business level initiative, they're rapidly expanding their capabilities within the offshore wind sector and establishing an offshore wind Centre of Excellence. The newly formed offshore wind engineering team (part of the CoE) will bring experience and track record into our already highly skilled workforce and help deliver excellent value to our existing network of offshore wind developers, clients, partners and projects.
Their broader ambitions in the offshore renewable space extend from early-stage concept and feasibility through to delivering full EPC and EPCI packages.

Role Context:
This is a dynamic role that will require not only a firm technical understanding of geotechnical engineering for offshore wind, but also a willingness to work differently. As a fast-growing entity within the group, the offshore wind engineering team will be looking to deliver projects using innovative business models and utilising existing, and developing new, digital solutions and design automation.
As Senior Engineer, you will be directly working offshore wind projects and provide geotechnical input in the design and consultancy work in the Worley Team. You will also have the opportunity for personal development in a range of fields.
You’ll supervise, and be supported by, a strong group of engineers and the wider pool of resources.

You'll be:

• Leading the work packages of geotechnical engineering on offshore wind project portfolio - from feasibility through to detailed design with diverse tasks such as geo survey specification, geotechnical interpretation and assistance in certification
• Providing technical input on project deliverables related to geotechnical subject for OWF
• Assisting/leading working groups for developing new geotechnical engineering delivery digital tools
• Publicizing and promoting technical excellence in geotechnical engineering to the outside world
• Developing new technique / technology in geotechnical engineering related subjects.

You'll need:

• A degree and chartered status in civil/geotechnical engineering (or equivalent)
• Worked on offshore wind development projects with input for geotechnical engineering in one or more of the foundation types such as Monopile, jacket, Suction base, or GBS
• Have experiences in at least one of the following areas

1) Geophysical including survey specification, sea mobility analysis, scour study, GIS modelling, geohazard analysis
2) Geotechnical planning including survey specification, geotechnical testing specification, 3D Ground modelling,
3) Geotechnical special studies such as monopile design using PISA method, suction caisson design, FE based pile analysis
4) Geotechnical / structural design and analysis for OWF such as drivability study, hammer specification, pile driving test, fatigue study, design for driven pile/mudmat, /gravity based foundation design/jack up spudcan/anchor,

• Experiences of existing digital platforms for geotechnical design (GRLWEAP, Opile, Abaqus, ANSYS, Plaxis 2D-3D, Lpile etc…)
• The ability to communicate effectively with team members and clients in the form of design sketch, calculation, verbal and written reports
• A "Can Do" attitude with high tolerance for uncertainties
• Soft attributes such as detail conscience, commercial awareness and strong work ethic.
• 5 to 10 years of relevant experience
