- Leading and producing high-calibre designs: Delivery and review of roads, foul & surface water systems for medium to large projects.
- Quality assurance: Producing, checking, and verifying drawings, calculations, and specifications against best practices.
- Technical mentorship & collaboration: Providing day-to-day guidance to engineers and technicians, coordinating inputs, and ensuring adherence to standards, legislation, and industry best practice.
- Client-facing interaction: Supporting presentations and discussions to refine design outputs and solutions.
- Strategic alignment: Staying updated with regulatory changes and championing quality, sustainability, and innovation within the team.
