Introductions WELCOME - Katerina Braun www.geolsoc.org.uk Why a career in Engineering Geology? Enjoy geological uncertainty, solving puzzles Enjoy applying science pragmatically Variety, site & office based, calculations & reporting, geotechnical modelling software Problem solving, identifying & managing risk Mentoring & knowledge transfer

Introductions WELCOME Chris Jack www.geolsoc.org.uk COWI UK Tunnels, Principal Engineering Geologist Education BSc (Hons) Geology, University of Edinburgh, 2002 MSc Engineering Geology, Newcastle University, 2004 Career History via Soil Mechanics (now ESG), Mason Evans, Donaldson Associates, Highland Geoservices, Mott MacDonald, GeoRisk Solutions and CRJE, mainly in UK & Hong Kong Chartered Geologist (CGeol), 2009 CGeol Scrutineer, Geological Society of London

Introductions WELCOME Chris Jack www.geolsoc.org.uk Why a career in Engineering Geology? Bit of an accident in many respects! However, also; interested in science and engineering; wanted to do something applied and obviously useful; opportunity to help people with their engineering problems and colleagues with their careers; constantly learning; frequently working on challenging problems; I love the outdoors; opportunities to travel; I get to work with some great people.

What we do key responsibilities Identify, investigate, quantify, risk assess, monitor & mitigate engineering geological hazards & risks Develop value engineered solutions to minimise or eliminate engineering geological hazards & risks Deliver quality, on time, on budget and in a safe manner using the correct standards & guidelines Mentor junior colleagues & promote importance of Continuing Professional Development

What we do - coverage Highways Railways Airports Ports & harbours River & coastal management Dams Caverns Tunnels & shafts Wind farms Buildings All aspects of construction essentially Desk & feasibility studies Walkover surveys & mapping GI planning & supervision Ground modelling Calculations & software Geotechnical design reports Technical specifications & drawings Construction supervision Tenders & contracts Financial planning & management Resource management & mentoring Expert witness
