Manage S104 and S106 submissions, liaising with stakeholders to achieve approvals. Create coordinated drawings and BIM models, including plans, long sections, details, and schedules. Develop attenuation and storage designs with provision for safe maintenance and operation. Specify installation techniques (e.g. open cut, HDD, pipe jacking) and address buildability considerations. Coordinate designs with highways, structures, process/MEICA, and landscaping disciplines. Prepare costed options and contribute to value-engineering exercises. Provide support during construction, responding to RFIs and carrying out compliance checks. Participate in HAZID, CDM design risk management, and quality assurance processes. Experience & Skills:
