  • Application of CDM Regulations in a design and ground investigation environment.
  • Excellent interpersonal, technical and communication skills with the ability to develop and lead design teams and the confidence to liaise with clients.
  • Excellent report writing skills with the ability to self-check and produce accurate work.
  • A willingness to travel on short assignments both within the UK and overseas and be in possession of a valid UK driving licence.
