  • Experience in Project Management and developing client relationships. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in overseeing project execution, delivering client satisfaction, through producing high-quality results on time and within budget.
  • A sound understanding of typical design and construction costs for bridges and other transportation structures.
  • Strong technical skills in bridge engineering and a keen commitment to quality with a 'right first time' approach to your own work, and taking ownership of the quality of deliverables produced by your team.
  • Experience in the production of drawings, risk assessments, specifications and reporting; as well as interdisciplinary review on multi-discipline projects (through e.g. a good understanding of the key interfaces with road and rail).
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to other offices and sites throughout the UK (typically limited to a few days per year).
