Why Consider the Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to join an established but growing consultancy with a strong UK presence and a director-led approach to project delivery.
With more than 150 people across seven UK offices, the business offers the capability to work on significant projects while retaining the accessibility and visibility that can sometimes disappear within much larger organisations.
If you're currently delivering projects within highways or infrastructure and are considering your next move in Birmingham, I'd be keen to speak with you.
