You will be responsible for establishing project requirements, developing scopes, programmes, budgets and risk registers, and managing design delivery in accordance with contractual, technical, environmental and health and safety requirements. Duties will include overseeing multidisciplinary design teams, reviewing calculations and technical documentation, coordinating design interfaces, managing design changes and approvals, and ensuring that deliverables are issued accurately and on schedule.
