About You:

Strong technical expertise in highways design (DMRB, MCHW, Civils 3D, PDS Flow)
Confidence in client-facing roles, business development, and winning work
Experience mentoring and developing junior staff
Ideally Chartered status (or equivalent)
The Package:
£60,000 - £80,000 salary (depending on experience)
Bonus scheme, private medical & dental insurance, life cover, enhanced pension, extra leave, company events and more
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to step up, lead their own team, and make a tangible impact - with the support of a successful, people-focused consultancy.
