Principal Tunnelling Engineer Cv Leo Turner Principal Tunnelling Engineer 07700 90XXXX leo.turner@example.com leoturner Chester, Cheshire, CH1 2ND STRENGTHS Technical judgement When ground parameters were uncertain, compared model sensitivities and explained the consequences so teams could make informed design decisions. Design assurance Independent comments helped a project team resolve a difficult underground interface, keeping the review focused on clear technical evidence. Practical delivery Considered sequencing, support and monitoring together, helping design teams test whether proposed underground construction methods suited site conditions. Knowledge sharing Mentored graduate engineers in modelling, calculation checks and report preparation, giving them practical guidance they could apply to design tasks. Risk assessment Turned investigation findings and site observations into prioritised follow-up checks and ground support measures for project engineers.

Design and assess tunnels, shafts, deep excavations and underground structures , applying numerical modelling to ground behaviour and excavation support decisions from concept through construction. Lead technical assurance, risk assessment and independent reviews, working with design and delivery teams to resolve uncertainty and develop buildable solutions. Chartered with the Institution of Civil Engineers, and a British citizen and passport holder eligible to pursue SC Clearance . EXPERIENCE Principal Tunnelling Engineer and Ground Engineering SME Calder Vale Engineering May 2022 - Present Manchester, Greater Manchester Guides design development and assessment for tunnels, shafts and deep excavations on a nuclear SMR programme, aligning ground models, structural assumptions and construction constraints across design packages. Builds and reviews PLAXIS and FLAC numerical models to assess staged excavation, support systems, groundwater effects and ground-structure interaction , recording sensitivity assumptions for design decisions. Leads project risk assessment and technical assurance workshops, translating geotechnical uncertainty into proportionate mitigation, design hold points and clear actions for project teams. Reviews construction methodologies for underground works, testing whether sequencing, temporary support and monitoring proposals are consistent with the design basis and site conditions. Provides independent technical reviews of calculations and design submissions, resolving complex comments with designers and documenting conclusions for assurance records. Senior Tunnelling Engineer Redstone Ground Engineering Jan 2018 - Apr 2022 Leeds, West Yorkshire Delivered geotechnical design and assessment for rail and road tunnel upgrades, shafts and associated underground structures within major infrastructure schemes. Used PLAXIS 2D and 3D to model excavation stages, support loads and soil-structure interaction, informing practical excavation support recommendations for constrained sites. Assessed excavation support proposals against ground investigation findings and construction sequences, identifying design risks before work packages reached site. Reviewed contractor construction methodologies and monitoring plans with civil and structural colleagues, resolving interface issues while maintaining traceable technical records. Tunnelling Engineer Northbank Civil Design Sep 2015 - Dec 2017 Birmingham, West Midlands Contributed to heavy civil engineering and transportation projects involving cut-and-cover tunnels, service passages and underground station structures. Prepared geotechnical analyses and design calculations for temporary and permanent excavation support, checking ground conditions against structural requirements. Compared construction staging options and documented their effects on settlement, adjacent assets and programme constraints for multidisciplinary design reviews. Geotechnical Engineer Peakstone Mining Consultants Jun 2013 - Aug 2015 Sheffield, South Yorkshire Supported mining and underground access projects through ground condition assessments, stability calculations and design notes for headings and shaft interfaces. Applied FLAC modelling to examine stress changes around proposed excavations and used sensitivity checks to explain the implications of uncertain rock parameters. Prepared risk summaries from investigation data and site observations, helping project engineers prioritise follow-up checks and practical ground support measures. Graduate Civil Engineer Westmoor Geotechnics Jul 2011 - May 2013 Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear Produced ground investigation logs, basic geotechnical calculations and technical drawings for early-stage civil engineering and underground works commissions. Developed initial excavation support assessments under senior engineer review, checking design inputs against site records and documenting assumptions for subsequent design stages. Maintained calculation files and concise technical reports, building reliable working knowledge of ground behaviour, site constraints and engineering review procedures. LEADERSHIP, AWARDS & RECOGNITION Recognised by a project design team in 2024 for clear independent review comments that helped resolve a complex underground design interface. Mentored graduate engineers in geotechnical modelling, calculation checking and technical report preparation.
