Your duties will include preparing and reviewing highway layouts, junction improvements, road alignments, drainage strategies, earthworks, pavement designs, traffic management arrangements and associated infrastructure. You will produce and check technical reports, drawings, specifications, schedules, calculations and other design documentation, while coordinating inputs from multidisciplinary teams, clients, contractors, utilities providers and other stakeholders.
