For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role

The main aspects of this newly created position will involve performing quality assurance and quality control approvals for laboratory test results, inclusive of effective stress tests performed to BS1377, ISO17892 and ASTM standards and novel in-house advanced test methods.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable with the below duties:

• Perform and review geotechnical classification tests, including, but not limited to plasticity index, particle size distribution analysis and particle density.

• Review and interpret total stress tests, including phi angle and cohesion from direct shearbox and residual shear strength from Bromhead Ringshear.

• Review and interpret parameters from one-dimensional oedometers to obtain relevant consolidation parameters such as mv, cv and k, primary and secondary compression and Pre-consolidation pressure.

• Review effective stress tests performed on clay and sand obtained from offshore to determine undrained shear strength.

• Using state of the art testing equipment analyses dynamic cyclic triaxial test results and advise if the cyclic ratios used are sufficient according to tau average (tav) or tau cyclic (tcy) failure conditions.

• Interpret signal peaks received from vertically polarised sine wave (svh) bender element signal data to analyse the shear modulas for use with soil stiffness.

• Relating to soil stiffness, review small strain measurements obtained from local LVDT transducers and resonant column.
