A willingness to learn and grow is essential in this fast-growing area of work. You will have the opportunity to work across all stages of the project lifecycle, from advisory services and concept design for clients at the early stages of project inception, through to detailed design and construction phase support.

• Project commercial management including monitoring progress and costs against programme and budget.
• Team planning and resourcing requirements and management of deliverables through active collaboration with supporting disciplines.

As part of the role you will be expected to assist others through technical collaboration as well as mentoring and developing less experienced members of the team. Adequate support will be provided to you to enable this.
