Apr 24 2023 - 12:04pm

GWP Consultants LLP is an independent consultancy partnership, located in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, originally formed in 1973, working in sustainable earth and water resources management in the UK and overseas.

Due to retirement, GWP has a rare and exciting opportunity for an experienced geologist to join our team of geologists, geotechnical and mining engineers, hydrogeologists and surveyors. The successful applicant will have at least 3 years of industry experience, ideally within the UK quarrying industry.

GWP is involved in a very wide range of projects, and whilst a significant amount of our work is quarrying in the UK and overseas, our team are very adaptable and relishes taking on a wide variety of work that requires us to use our expertise.

Your role will include developing geological ground models, designing site investigations, resource evaluation, undertaking excavation phasing and scheduling, and other matters related to technical support for the extractive and waste industries.

You will be able to manage projects, liaise with Clients, plan, organise and manage site investigations, work with and/or supervise other members of the team, and have excellent technical reporting skills.

The successful applicant should:

have a BSc Geology (2:1 or higher) or similar;
have a relevant geological PhD, MSc or relevant industry experience;
be proficient in the use of LSS Digital Terrain Modelling software;
have experience in a wide variety of geological settings.

You will need to be eligible to work in the UK, hold a full UK driving licence and have your own vehicle.

You will be based at our office in Charlbury and although GWP has recently introduced a hybrid working scheme, you will need to live within commuting distance of the office.

You will be involved in office and site work (e.g. remote working around Quarries and in the field on uneven terrain) within the UK and, on occasions, overseas.
