Current projects include urban route enhancements, new roadway construction, and active travel initiatives to support educational facilities, all of which necessitate comprehensive flood risk management oversight.

Familiarity with Microsoft Office or similar software, along with knowledge of relevant quality assurance systems, is essential.

Experience in managing staff is considered advantageous.

A valid driver's license is preferred.
