Geotechnical Engineering opportunities

infrastructure that will enable the UK's transition to net zero.As SSEN Transmission invests billions to upgrade the network and connect renewable generation across the UK, you'll work on some of the country's largest and most ambitious transmission and substation projects, helping to deliver a cleaner, more secure energy future.Working across a diverse portfolio of transmission and substation projects operating at voltages up to 400kV, you'll contribute to the development and delivery of innovative engineering solutions that will power communities for generations to come.You will- Collaborate across disciplines to provide geotechnical insight on projects, including substations, overhead lines, and onshore cable routes.- Support the civil engineering team in scopes for geotechnical works and review of contractor designs ensuring alignment with project needs and contract requirements.- Support early-stage project development, including site selection, ground investigations, and feasibility
studies.- Support the geotechnical team in the development of guidance documents, geotechnical data management and innovation projects.- Champion safe, thoughtful design by managing geotechnical risks and contributing to CDM responsibilities as part of the Principal Designer team.You have- A degree in geology, engineering geology or geotechnical engineering or a related discipline, with a strong foundation in ground investigations, earthworks, and foundations.- Hands-on experience working on or supervising large earthworks schemes.- Confidence in reviewing technical deliverables, including desk studies, ground investigation reports, foundation designs, slope stability reports, earthwork strategies and material management plans to establish ground risk and suitability of design/proposals.- A solid grasp of industry standards and regulations, including ECC contracts and CDM duties, particularly in supervisory and design roles and experience working in the energy sector either
in a client or designer capacity.- Strong communication and organisational skills, with a proactive approach to managing time and collaborating across multi discipline teams.About SSESSE's purpose is to be restless every day until we make electricity clean, affordable and available for all.We do this by developing, building, operating and investing in electricity infrastructure and businesses needed in the energy transition. This includes electricity transmission and distribution networks, onshore and offshore wind farms, hydro-electric power and flexible thermal generation. We also provide products and services for businesses and other customers.Our investment plan will see SSE invest 33bn in critical electricity infrastructure to 2030.SSEN Transmission own and operate the electricity transmission network across the north of Scotland. We transport electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed, ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply for the
