• Coordinate with other disciplines to deliver integrated services and high-quality outcomes for clients.
• Drive innovation by identifying and implementing data‑driven, automated, and standardised solutions to improve project efficiency and productivity.
• Collaborate with our UK and Global Integrated Delivery teams to optimise resources and ensure successful project delivery.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A professional qualification
• Excellent communication, collaboration and time management skills
• Project management and leadership skills related to bridge design (or other disciplines)
• Strong technical design and practical problem‑solving skills

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in asset management, structures renewals and post‑tensioned structures, including post‑tensioned special inspections (PTSI).
We value safety, integrity, inclusion and belonging. We provide flexible working arrangements and benefits to support your well-being and professional growth.
