START DATE:

A data management technician is required to join the geotechnical department in Norwich, to assist with ground investigation record and drawing production.
Candidates should as a minimum be proficient with standard computer software, with a good knowledge of programmes including excel, word and ideally autoCAD; GCSE grade C or above in subjects including Maths and English; excellent communications skills (both written and verbal) and a keen interest in learning new skills.
The role will involve assisting a team of geotechnical engineers to create borehole, trial pit and other fieldwork and monitoring records, using excel add-ins to Keynetix Holebase SI software. The role also includes producing drawings and plans using Holebase SI software and exporting to produce detailed plans in autoCAD.
Demonstrating an attention to detail and a keen interest to learn new skills is essential. Prior knowledge of geotechnical investigation, geology and the environment is desirable, but not essential. However, an interest would help to comprehend the background to the records and drawings.
The part-time role can be flexible with regard to the days at work, but a three day working week is preferred. Training will be provided for Keynetix software, and for other areas (e.g. autoCAD) where appropriate.
