We’re an open and inclusive place to work, where everyone is welcome and our people are supported to reach their full potential. We want to create an environment where our people can grow and succeed. This is key to enabling us to deliver on the promises we’ve made to the people of Wales to build a sustainable transport network that meets their needs.

Collaborate with stakeholders and communities to develop design options that meet specific local needs and constraints, by collaborating with Client Officers and providing technical guidance to the wider team to make sure projects are delivered to scope, time, cost and quality.

Lead the preparation of project drawings, visualisations, technical specifications and CDM information by providing technical oversight and input when completing tender documentation to enable clients to tender the delivery of the works.
