What You'll Be Doing
- Leading highways, civil engineering, bridge and structures projects
- Working collaboratively with the client during ECI and scheme development

About You
We're looking for an experienced civil engineering or construction professional with a proven background delivering projects within highways, bridges, structures or associated infrastructure. You'll be comfortable taking ownership of projects from pre-construction through delivery and will have experience managing multidisciplinary teams, subcontractors, programmes, budgets and client relationships.
You’ll ideally bring experience of NEC contracts and working within a live highways, infrastructure or maintenance environment. An ONC, HNC or HND in Civil Engineering or Construction is essential.
