Maintain awareness of evolving legislation, standards, and best practice.
Project Delivery:
Manage projects or work packages, ensuring delivery to time, cost, and quality.
Support preparation of technical and financial proposals.
Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including environmental, planning, landscape, and engineering specialists.
Client & Leadership:
Engage confidently with clients and stakeholders.
Identify business development opportunities.
Mentor and support junior colleagues, contributing to a strong technical culture.

Desirable:
Working towards or holding a professional qualification (C.WEM, CEng, IEng or equivalent).
Experience in SWM and SuDS strategy, design, and/or modelling.
Competence in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and hydraulic modelling tools (e.g., InfoDrainage, Causeway Flow).
