* Managing and delivering civil engineering projects to programme and budget
* Leading highways, drainage and infrastructure designs using 3D software
* Ensuring designs comply with current standards, legislation and regulations
* Providing technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers
* Liaising with clients, contractors and internal teams throughout project stages
* Supporting consultancy growth through high-quality delivery and client engagement
