Hello, I'm

JOHN ADOLE

I am currently working for Soil Engineering UK as an Engineering Geologist across several projects. I have so much interest in Geotechnical and Energy systems to deliver innovative and environmentally conscious solutions. I’m very creative, passionate, reliable and dedicated to my work. If you are looking for someone that would get the job done according to the specified accuracy within the time limits available, no matter the weather, someone who wouldn’t look at the weather and call in sick, someone who would look for efficient ways to produce quality results while saving cost, someone who can galvanise the team members to do their work on time, then reach out to me let us discuss your projects.

I'm an Engineer with a Passion for Innovation

If you hire me, you would see positive results on your investment

Hello,

I am a Site Engineer with a Master’s degree in Energy Engineering and a Bachelor’s in Engineering Geology. I am passionate about sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy solutions. With proficiency in tools such as AutoCAD, FreeCAD, QGIS, MATLAB, Python, and MS Office, I possess a solid foundation in engineering principles and hands-on project experience.

I am eager to contribute to innovative projects and I am seeking a long-term career as an Engineer where I can continue to contribute and grow professionally and make a meaningful impact. I am CSCS, SSSTS, Asbestos awareness, CAT and Genny trained and certified, and I am familiar with current Engineering practices including health and safety standards as well as logging standards. I also have a full clean UK driving license and flexible to travel across several sites

My Amazing Works

Discover a selection of my academic and project-based work, highlighting my skills in Geotechnical and Energy engineering. While this is not an exhaustive list, due to data protection and other regulations, I am able to showcase only a portion of my activities. Each project reflects my dedication to innovation, sustainability, and delivering practical solutions.

Power to Methanol Production

At Drax, the Power-to-Methanol project transforms CO₂ and green hydrogen into sustainable methanol, achieving carbon negativity and advancing industrial decarbonization.

Sieve Analysis

Sieve analysis is a method used to determine the particle size distribution of a granular material by passing it through a series of sieves with progressively smaller mesh sizes and measuring the weight of material retained on each sieve.

Design and Simulation of a Crude Oil Refinery

Optimized Design and simulation of the distillation process in a crude oil refinery utilizing a
blend of 55% Siberian light–2010 and 45% Russia’s Sokol–2015 employing Aspen HYSYS

Cable Percussion

Cable Percussion drilling is a widely used ground investigation method for forming boreholes in cohesive soils, granular deposits, and weak rock. The technique allows for the collection of disturbed and undisturbed samples, Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs), and the installation of groundwater or gas monitoring wells. It typically reaches depths of up to 50 m, and a hand-dug inspection pit of about 1.2m is usually required before drilling to check for shallow services.

Dynamic Sampling

Soil core recovered during a dynamic window sampling investigation. The sample was extracted in a transparent acetate liner for visual logging, depth measurement, and further geotechnical analysis. The clean recovery and layering provide insight into subsurface conditions critical for foundation design.

Atterberg Limit Test

The Atterberg limit test is a soil classification method used to determine the critical water content at which soil changes its behavior between different states (solid, semi-solid, plastic, and liquid).

Experiences

Supervise ongoing site investigations, including borehole drilling, trial pitting, soakaway testing, gas and water
monitoring and in-situ testing, ensuring adherence to project specifications and health & safety regulations.
Monitor borehole progress to verify depth, stratification, groundwater levels, and appropriate sampling
intervals.
Log soil and rock strata in accordance with BS 5930:2015, noting characteristics such as consistency, texture,
colour, moisture content, structure, and plasticity.
Collaborate closely with drillers to coordinate site operations and maintain efficiency and data quality.
Communicate with clients on-site to ensure technical requirements and project goals are met.
Oversee the collection, labelling, and secure storage of disturbed and undisturbed samples for laboratory
testing.
