* Experience in leading numerical modelling teams with advanced numerical modelling software (e.g., FLAC / FLAC3D, PLAXIS 2D / 3D) and analyzing results.
* Detailed understanding of advanced constitutive soil models, parameter selection for such models, and experience of numerical modelling software in addition to standard geotechnical software.
* Experience in validation of geotechnical numerical analysis and numerical model calibration within an interdisciplinary project environment.
* Capability to drive digital innovation and enhance Atkins Réalis’ capabilities in advanced geotechnical analysis and design.
* Excellent communication skills and confidence to liaise with clients and engineers from other disciplines.
