Mentor and support junior engineers
Drive quality, efficiency and technical excellence across projects
What They’re Looking For
Strong background in civil engineering design (drainage & infrastructure)
Experience working on residential and/or commercial developments
Proven ability to manage projects and liaise with clients
Knowledge of approvals (S38, S104, S278 etc.)
Comfortable leading teams and reviewing technical work
