Penguin Recruitment Ltd

 

Penguin Recruitment are currently working with an international environmental and engineering consultancy to fill an urgent vacancy in their Edinburgh team. My client undertakes work in a variety of different disciplines with consultants in Edinburgh specialising in geology, hydrology, contaminated land investigation, Landfill CQA and other related disciplines. They have recently seen a significant increase in the amount of landfill design and CQA work and as such are seeking a motivated individual, ideally with experience in this sector, to join the team.

About the role

• You will be responsible for a variety of responsibilities associated with landfill CQA including overseeing landfill construction, preparing CQA plans and submitting them to the Environment Agency, liaising with clients, contractors and the EA and preparing CQA reports.

• The role will be predominately site based and you will be responsible for supervising sites, undertaking contaminated land investigations, shell and auger drilling, rotary drilling and dynamic probing.

• Based from attractive premises in Edinburgh the role will also include office based duties such as desk studies, report writing, contract preparation and follow up work.

• Project sites are situated across the UK and as such the successful candidate will be required to sometimes work away from home for the duration of the week.

About you

• The ideal candidate will be educated to degree level in a relevant subject such as Geology, Earth Science, Civil Engineering or similar.

• Prior experience working in landfill engineering is essential as you will be expected to manage your own projects from award through to completion.

• A full UK driving licence is essential as you will be working on sites in sometimes isolated locations.

• The successful candidate will be hard working, enthusiastic and highly organised to excel in the role. There are highly rewarding long term career prospects for individuals who are prepared to work hard from the beginning.
