Chevin joins the company from Balfour Beatty, where he held several senior positions, including as ground improvement operations manager, working on major projects such as HS2.
Chevin will focus on leading the commercial and infrastructure teams, supporting a diverse collection of projects across the UK, from transport to utilities. A key part of his role will include developing connections with clients and identifying opportunities to expand awareness of geopolymer ground improvement technologies and the associated cost benefits for councils.
“I’m passionate about building relationships with customers in different sectors, so when I saw this opportunity, I knew it was a great fit for my experience,” said Chevin.
“Generating a reliable reputation and repeat business is developed by meeting clients, providing them with the assurance that you are a trusted advisor that can consult and solve their issues. One of my main goals is to grow the awareness of alternative ground engineering solutions across commercial and infrastructure sectors.”
Otso Lahtinen, CEO of Geobear, said, “Jon’s technical expertise in ground engineering and track record of relationship building skills is incredibly valuable for Geobear. As subsidence risks grow with the threat of climate change, Jon’s role will be crucial in supporting the implementation of faster solutions for essential assets.”
