• Resource Management – Help plan and balance workloads across the team and keep everything (and everyone) running smoothly.
• Training & Development – Mentor junior team members, shape their development, and be part of a culture that thrives on shared knowledge.
• Health & Safety – Drive high standards. Be the voice of responsibility on site visits, CDM compliance, and safety-first design.

What You’ll Bring

• Chartered (CEng MICE or MIStructE).
• Deep technical knowledge and a high standard of structural design.
• Strong leadership skills – you know how to get the best out of people.
• Business development instincts – you\'re confident in networking and creating opportunity.
