I have worked on geotechnical projects covering aspects such as cycleway lane implementation, roundabout construction, rock fall protection, road widening and slope reinforcement. Through these I developed technical skills such as geotechnical parameter selection and design in accordance with Eurocode 7. As part of the design process I have used computer packages such as Talren 4 v2.03, Reward, Gawacwin and AutoCad to design slope reinforcement solutions, retaining walls and other geotechnical… Show more I have worked on geotechnical projects covering aspects such as cycleway lane implementation, roundabout construction, rock fall protection, road widening and slope reinforcement. Through these I developed technical skills such as geotechnical parameter selection and design in accordance with Eurocode 7. As part of the design process I have used computer packages such as Talren 4 v2.03, Reward, Gawacwin and AutoCad to design slope reinforcement solutions, retaining walls and other geotechnical elements. Following on from this I have written design specifications in accordance with the Manual of Contract Documents for Highways Works and written all types of Geotechnical reports from Preliminary Sources Studies to Geotechnical Feedback reports in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges standard HD22/08. I am extremely good at working within teams and on my own as well as to demanding deadlines and increasingly lower budgets. Additional skills include producing fee estimates, change controls and working on project tenders for procuring contractors and winning new work.2007 Show less

I was involved on small to large projects such as the Birmingham Box Managed Motorways Active Traffic Management scheme. I was involved in ground investigation supervision, data gathering, generation of Bills of Quantities and Ground Investigation Specifications, collation of geotechnical information for desk studies and writing of reports such as Statement of Intents, Preliminary Sources Study Reports and Ground Investigation Reports.

I was responsible for my own work load and ensuring that tasks were completed on time and to budget. I also began to develop my technical skills with slope stability assessments and geotechnical asset inspections in accordance with HD41/ Show less

I was involved on several projects such as the M1 Widening J10 to J13 Ground Investigation, A30 Bodmin-Indian Queens Improvement and the A46 Newark to Widmerpool Road Improvement Scheme. From those projects and others I gained experience in site supervision, site instrumentation monitoring, desk studies, ground investigation planning, cost analyses, laboratory test scheduling, borehole interpretation, data inputting and use of software packages such as gINT, GTILT, and SLOPE-W.
