Working in support of the relevant scheme project manager you will help co-ordinate and manage certain elements of projects throughout the various stages of the design cycle. This will involve managing a small team of Engineers and Technicians to ensure programme delivery within budgetary constraints.

You can expect to be integrating with other disciplines across the business as well as site managers and other third parties including your clients.

The role will require you to assist in estimating, cost reporting project forecasting as well as the tendering process for new work.

The successful candidate for this role will be a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer with experience in the delivery of Highways Agency or local authority projects.

You will have a good knowledge of current HA standards, policies and processes, including the DMRB and previous experience in the design, assessment and inspection of bridge structures.
