Binnies geotechnical team continues to grow, due to continued successes in tendering. As we enter the next water regulatory period (AMP8) we will be providing geotechnical input for the vast majority of UK water companies, building critical infrastructure with a particular focus on storm spill reduction. We are also supporting water companies as they develop their designs of the new generation of reservoirs to safeguard drinking water supplies for the future.

This is alongside our other frameworks including supporting the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and the Canals and River Trust.

As part of this growth we are also offering our clients more advanced geotechnical services and taking on more complex designs, including temporary works. This gives all our staff an exciting opportunity to learn new skills, and be involved in the new direction and expansion of our services. As many schemes are design and build, it also allows us to see our designs bought to life and actually constructed.

As Technical Director you will provide technical oversight of our design solutions, look to introduce new approaches and upskill staff.
