Typical Project Work

Highways infrastructure projects
Environmental enhancement initiatives
Car park development and improvement works

Town centre regeneration projects
About You
To be considered, you will have:
A broad civil engineering background
Experience working on highways and infrastructure projects
Proven experience delivering schemes from design through to construction
The ability to undertake site visits and inspections
Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple live projects simultaneously
Desirable Experience
Experience in one or more of the following areas would be advantageous:

Footpaths, Public Rights of Way (PROW) or recreational infrastructure

Local Authority engineering projects
What's on Offer?

Diverse and interesting project workload
Strong pipeline of upcoming schemes
