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 should be comfortable taking ownership of projects from pre-construction through delivery and have experience managing multidisciplinary teams, subcontractors, programmes, budgets and client relationships. Experience of NEC contracts and working within a live highways, infrastructure or maintenance environment is ideal. An ONC, HNC or HND in Civil Engineering or Construction is essential. Chartered Engineer status or equivalent structures experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
