• Respond to post-tender queries and provide technical input to stakeholders.
• Lead customer meetings and the presentation of tender proposals.
• Ensure smooth handover of bid documentation to operational and commercial teams.
• Ensure compliance with business strategy and authority levels.

• Stay up to date with industry developments, technologies, and standards in ground engineering.
• Contribute to business strategy, pricing activities, and the development of marketing materials (brochures, website content, data sheets).
• Promote a strong safety culture (WORKSAFE HOMESAFE) and environmental responsibility (LESS IS MORE MENARD).

A degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering or a related field. Membership of a relevant professional body (ICE, GeolSoc) and a valid CSCS card is a plus. The role requires some experience and practical technical/engineering knowledge of ground engineering processes. A customer-centric mindset with a flexible and innovative approach. Strategic and creative thinking to identify opportunities and challenge conventional methods. Strong attention to detail and the confidence to advise senior management when necessary. Willingness to gain hands-on experience on-site as part of training and development. The individual should have a desire to continuously pursue innovation and development, with a focus on the customer and the ground engineering business.
