Geotechnisch Specialist

What are you going to do?

The potential in the offshore wind market is growing in relation to the energy transition and Arcadis wants to strengthen itâ s position in this field. We are looking for an medior or senior geotechnical expert, who primarily will be working office based in the Netherlands.

In your role as geotechnical expert, you will provide quality expert support and quality control for all the geotechnical aspects of the work, including preliminary feasibility studies, site investigations, interpretation and final design. The focus will be on the fixed foundation of wind turbines, but you are also able to participate in design teams for a wide range of geotechnical structures like jetties, quay walls and other maritime infrastructure.

Your day to day work can comprise:

• Contributing as an expert in setting up proposal including smart solutions and high quality added value
• Drafting Scope of Work for the geotechnical (survey) campaigns
• Review and evaluate proposals (e.g. project documentation; suitability vessels and equipment; equipment set up; project execution plan, geotechnical location plans), in some cases providing a second opinion
• Making conceptual and final design for different wind turbine foundations using relevant know-how, the state of the art equipmentand tools
• Implementing new methods for geotechnical interpretation and design
• Provide input to the integration of geotechnical data into Integrated Geological Models (2D/3D)
• Review geotechnical investigation and contractor design reports
• Evaluate construction aspects and constructability of a proposed foundation type
• Supervision of, depending on your level, junior and intermediate geotechnical colleagues
• Participating in expert meetings
• As a senior expert contribution to the Arcadis offshore energy strategy
