You’ll work at the interface of clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams, providing trusted technical and strategic advice while ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standard. Your insight and influence will help clients navigate complexity and achieve outcomes that are both practical and sustainable.

What You’Ll Be Doing

• Project leadership – Drive the planning, design, and delivery of civil infrastructure projects, maintaining involvement from bid and tender through to successful completion.
• Client engagement – Act as a trusted advisor to clients, building relationships, understanding priorities, and shaping innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

• A bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Civil Engineering or related field
