This is an opportunity to take a prominent technical role in the development, design and implementation of schemes that improve connectivity, safety and the long-term performance of the transport network. You will work across projects from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, construction support and completion, providing sound engineering advice and maintaining a strong focus on quality, value and sustainability.
Your responsibilities will include managing technical elements of highway and infrastructure projects, preparing and reviewing drawings, specifications, reports and technical assessments, and ensuring designs comply with relevant standards, legislation and best practice. You will coordinate with clients, contractors, local authorities, utility providers and other stakeholders, while supporting consultations, planning submissions, risk assessments and the resolution of design and construction issues. The role will also involve mentoring junior engineers, checking technical work, contributing to project programmes and budgets, and helping to identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering or a related discipline and have substantial experience in highway design, transport infrastructure or a comparable engineering environment.

You should have a strong understanding of applicable highway design standards, contract procedures, health and safety requirements and project delivery processes, together with experience using relevant design and engineering software.
