My Typical Day:
Currently working from home so I log on at 9am, check my emails & my to-do list. My work day is always different depending on the project that I am working on that day! In general though it can range from report writing, checking other team members reports, reviewing ground investigation information, analysis of testing results and using different software’s to design slopes and foundations.

I have been working from home and unfortunately had to give up some of my craft room so it can get quite messy and distracting! Especially with a doggo around!!
Today I had a catch up meeting with our client where we discussed a few railways projects that we are working on at the moment. Once the meeting was over I started checking a report that one of my team members had written about the redevelopment of a train station in the North East. Once I had checked that I updated a ground investigation specification that I had written before but since we issued it to the client we received some more information that has highlighted part of the railway track is bumpy and affecting the trains!
The most interesting thing about geotech is how different every day can be! Next week I am going to be out on site in Leeds supervising a ground investigation !
