You will play a key role in building trusted client relationships, providing strategic design leadership and acting as a senior point of contact to help shape project outcomes and identify future opportunities. This is a role where judgement matters. You will be trusted to challenge assumptions, manage competing priorities and give clients confidence that complex programmes are technically sound and commercially deliverable. You will also influence how design is managed across the wider practice. By improving approaches to standardisation, automation, assurance and multidisciplinary delivery, you will help teams work more effectively and create stronger outcomes for clients and communities. Qualifications * Technical leadership in the design and project management of large‑scale infrastructure programmes * Expertise in multidisciplinary engineering and construction integration * NEC3/4 contract and change control experience * Knowledge of CDM regulations and processes * Passion and enthusiasm for problem solving, creating and delivering innovation * Track record in developing and fostering a culture focused on success * Ability to operate autonomously across a wide range of complex projects with authority * Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex technical issues to stakeholders with differing backgrounds and levels of expertise Benefits * Competitive salary reflecting your skills and experience * Flexible work arrangements – hybrid, part‑time and flexible hours/logistics * Robust pension contributions up to 10% of salary * Comprehensive health coverage – single medical cover, digital GP service and optional partner/family coverage * Family planning support – fertility healthcare and family planning services * Enhanced parental leave – enhanced leave pay and access to employee assistance programs * Life assurance at 4× your salary * Well‑being hub – free access to wellbeing apps * Professional development – professional membership fees and CPD opportunities EEO Statement As a disability‑confident employer, we will interview disabled candidates who best meet the criteria.
