Associate Director : Civil Engineering
Location: Nottingham
Salary: GBP70,000 : GBP80,000
Ready to take control of a Civils business rather than simply take another step up the corporate ladder? This Nottingham opportunity offers genuine leadership of an established Civils function, with the freedom to influence its technical direction, clients, team and future growth.
The Opportunity
An established multidisciplinary consultancy is looking for an Associate Director : Civil Engineering to take responsibility for its Civils business.

For the right Associate Director, there is genuine scope to make the Civils function your own and influence where the business goes next.
