* Undertake, or lead a team of engineers and technicians in undertaking, technically challenging projects without supervision within prescribed programme constraints.
* Co-ordinate project delivery with internal and external clients.
* Undertake structural engineering projects by performing analyses and calculations as appropriate, along with preparing design reports for client submission without supervision.
* Supervise work undertaken by others, ensuring that it is carried out to the appropriate technical standard and that it is managed to programme and budget.
* Have a desire to learn new skills and the ability to consider the wider engineering issues related to the analyses being undertaken.
