• Detailed understanding of advanced constitutive soil models, parameter selection for such models, soil-structure interaction, and experience of numerical modelling software (FLAC, PLAXIS 2D / 3D etc.) in addition to standard geotechnical software.
• Experience in validation of geotechnical numerical analysis and numerical model calibration.
• Experience in managing the process of geotechnical numerical analysis within an interdisciplinary project environment.
• A desire to drive digital innovation and further AtkinsRéalis’ capability in offshore geotechnics and advanced geotechnical analysis.
