You will contribute to the planning, design, procurement and delivery of major infrastructure schemes, working closely with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, clients and technical specialists.
Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing tunnel and trenchless design packages, specifications, calculations, drawings, method statements and technical reports. You will assess construction methodologies, ground risks, temporary works, interface requirements and constructability considerations, providing practical engineering advice throughout the project lifecycle. The role will also involve supporting site investigations, reviewing contractor submissions, monitoring technical compliance, participating in design reviews and resolving engineering issues during construction. You will help manage programme, cost, quality and safety requirements while maintaining accurate technical records and ensuring that all work complies with relevant standards, legislation and project procedures.
