Summary: The role of Openroads Technician involves utilizing Bentley Openroads software to work on major infrastructure projects, specifically within the HS2 main work civil contract. The position requires expertise in drainage and geotechnical modelling, with a focus on producing final designs and technical deliverables. Candidates should have experience in civil engineering projects and be proficient in industry-standard tools related to drainage and earthworks modelling. The role offers a hybrid working arrangement, with 2-3 days in the office and the remainder from home.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design surface and foul water drainage systems within HS2/rail corridor environments.
- Develop terrain and corridor-based earthworks models for major HS2/rail infrastructure schemes.
- Produce coordinated models, drawings, and technical deliverables aligned to HS2/rail requirements.
- Integrate geotechnical data into earthworks design for HS2/rail corridors.
- Coordinate with drainage, structures, and environmental constraints across HS2/rail interfaces.
Key Skills:
- Extensive experience with Bentley Openroads software.
- Experience in drainage and geotechnical modelling.
- Proficiency with industry-standard tools (e.g., OpenRoads Drainage).
- Strong understanding of UK standards (DMRB, SuDS Manual, etc.).
- Experience working on major infrastructure projects with a civil bias.
