  • Proficiency in relevant engineering software, including AutoCAD, PDS, Windes, and MicroDrainage.
  • Engineering-related qualification, degree, or equivalent—preferably accredited by RICS or ICE.
  • Experience as part of a successful engineering team within a residential development setting.
  • Strong ability to undertake in-house civil engineering design and assess external designs.
  • Thorough understanding of technical and regulatory requirements.
  • Ability to interpret geotechnical and environmental reports and provide suitable recommendations.
  • In-depth knowledge of ground condition assessments for foundation and sub-structure design.
