Geotechnical Engineer (KTP Associate)

Main activities:
1. Develop and document a construction process and management document (e.g. WP3.6/4.4) to detail all stages of the MICP process including; bacteria growth, injection protocols and post-treatment assessment methods.
2. Develop an understanding of, and document, the supply chain requirements for materials, bacterial cultivation and injection equipment.
3. Develop and implement quality testing methods and thresholds for acceptance
4. Design MICP treatment injection strategies for delivering specific pilot projects and, ultimately, for commercial projects
5. Determination of suitable injection equipment and protocols to achieve the desired level of treatment in the ground
6. Organise training and workshops with BAM Ritchies staff to ensure that they have an in depth understanding of
the technological developments developed during the KTP project, and have an opportunity to witness the
results of the project first hand where possible
7. Develop a training programme that can be delivered to relevant staff post-KTP to ensure that new staff develop the skills required to use/sell the MICP product commercially (e.g.WP3.3/5.3)
8. Manage projects teams for MICP project delivery
9. Present MICP opportunities to potential clients and develop a future client-base for this exciting new technology
10. Plan, manage and monitor project schedules and milestones

The KTP will focus on translating the MICP technology developed at Strathclyde into engineering practice. The KTP will develop the skills required to implement MICP at field-scale and will lead on developing the commercial opportunity for MICP with potential clients. As the project progresses, the KTP will develop and grow capable teams within the business to deliver pilot MICP projects and build a future market and client base for the product.
