* Consult with a range of internal and external stakeholders at all stages of scheme development.
* Ensure that relevant standards are applied in accordance with national & local criteria and sound engineering practice, to deliver appropriate solutions which offer best value.
* Assist in the mentoring of our trainee and graduate engineers.
Skills & Knowledge Requirements:
* Track record of delivering highways and transport design projects, as part of a team of professional engineers.

* Actively working towards Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status of the Institution of Civil Engineers or equivalent professional body.

We operate a ‘hybrid working’ arrangement to gain the benefits of face-to-face interaction for part of the week, combined with home-working for the rest of the week to help contribute to a good work-life balance. We have a team culture and IT systems to allow us to still work collaboratively and flexibly, and integrate new starters into the team.
