Work with me
How I can support you
My work falls into four areas. Each one below explains who it is for, what I provide, what to expect and how to get in touch. Where a service has a fixed scope, the price is published; where it needs to be shaped around you, your students or your team, we agree the scope and fee after a short conversation.
Mentorship is a separate, selective programme offered by application, not a paid service. Read about mentorship →
01 · Mentorship & Career Development
Direction, skills and informed career decisions
Guidance for students, graduates and early-career professionals who are looking for direction, developing their skills, setting meaningful goals and making informed career decisions.
Who it is for
Students choosing a direction, graduates looking for their first engineering role, early-career engineers planning their next step, and people moving into civil engineering roles in the UK.
What I provide
- A one-hour CV review session focused on a UK civil engineering role.
- A free online CV review built on my own checklist, which you can use at any time.
- The mentorship programme, a 90-day cohort with a plan and regular check-ins, offered separately by application.
What to expect
The CV session takes place online. You share your CV and the kind of role you are aiming for beforehand, and you leave with clear, prioritised changes. I can help you present your experience well, but I cannot guarantee interviews or job offers.
How to enquire
Book the CV session directly, try the free review first, or apply for the next mentorship cohort.
02 · Academic & Research Support
Research, assessment feedback and academic evidence
Support with research development, experimental methodology, academic writing, feedback on technical assessments and the clear communication of research findings, informed by my PhD, university teaching and research in soil mechanics.
Who it is for
Learners taking my soil mechanics courses, PhD students and research groups working on saturated and unsaturated soils, and academics and researchers considering the Global Talent route.
What I provide
- Marking and written feedback on course assessments, with the option to resubmit.
- Research support: reviewing a laboratory test programme before you start, methodology, troubleshooting, interpreting results and writing them up.
- Academic Global Talent support: a free readiness roadmap, a 60-minute strategy session and document review.
What to expect
Marking follows a published brief and returns feedback on what worked, what needs improving and how to revise. Research support starts with a conversation about your project, and co-supervision or external advice is arranged with your university under its own rules. Global Talent support is educational and professional guidance, not legal or regulated immigration advice, and no application outcome can be guaranteed.
How to enquire
Book marking or Global Talent support from the store, or describe your research project and timeline in an enquiry.

03 · Technical Writing & Educational Consulting
Teaching material, assessments and technical writing
Educational content and course development, assessment design and marking guides, curriculum support and technical writing for teaching and publication, drawing on several years of designing and leading geotechnical teaching at university.
Who it is for
Universities and colleges, training providers, people starting education services, and organisations that need engineering topics explained clearly for learners.
What I provide
- Course and lesson development that starts from zero and builds step by step.
- Realistic, fictional project briefs for assessment, with marking guides.
- Review of existing coursework and curricula for industry relevance.
- Technical writing for teaching and publication, including accessible learning material.
What to expect
We start with a conversation about your learners, the outcome you need and your timing, and I then propose a scope and fee. All examples are fictional and the work is independent of any employer or client.
How to enquire
Tell me who the material is for, what it needs to achieve and when you need it.
Scope: this work is about teaching, assessment and publication. I do not produce ground investigation specifications, desk studies or other design deliverables for live projects.
04 · Training, Workshops & Speaking
Practical learning for teams, students and events
Practical learning sessions, guest lectures, workshops and presentations for students, researchers, engineering teams and professional organisations.
Who it is for
Consultancies and contractors with graduate and early-career engineers, universities and research groups, professional bodies and events, and schools and student societies.
What I provide
- Training in the soil mechanics behind everyday design decisions, from effective stress and consolidation to shear strength and design parameters.
- Self-paced professional courses on Eurocode 7 shallow foundation design and CDM 2015.
- Guest lectures, seminars, webinars and workshops.
- Volunteer talks for schools and student groups about engineering careers.
What to expect
Sessions run online or in person, as a single session or a short series, and are shaped around your people and goals. Fees are agreed after a short conversation, and volunteer talks for schools are free.
How to enquire
Share your audience, the outcome you would like and approximate dates.
| Published prices | Price |
|---|---|
| Applying Eurocode 7 to shallow foundation design (self-paced course) | £100 |
| CDM 2015: project roles, responsibilities and coordination (self-paced course) | £250 |
| Team training, guest lectures and workshops | By quotation |
| Volunteer talks for schools and student groups | Free |

Enquire about a service
Tell me what you need
Use this form for any of the four areas above, whether you are enquiring for yourself or for an organisation. A few clear lines about who the work is for, what you would like to achieve and your timing help me reply with something useful.
- An enquiry is not a booking and does not commit you to anything.
- I reply by email to agree the scope, availability and any fee before work begins.
- Your details are used only to reply to your enquiry.
Not sure which service fits?
Talk it through first
If you are not sure which kind of support you need, book a short introductory call so we can talk about where you are and what would help, or send me an email with a few lines about your situation. The call is a no-cost conversation to understand your needs. It is not a consultation, and nothing is booked or charged unless we both agree on a next step.
