• Apply your experience of digital tools and data-driven approaches to enhance design efficiency and project outcomes.
• Supporting socially impactful initiatives like EDAROTH, delivering sustainable infrastructure and housing for underserved communities.

What you can bring:

• A degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline, with relevant experience in drainage or water infrastructure.
• Familiarity with industry standards, BIM and design tools such as Causeway Flow, InfoWorks ICM, Civil 3D or MicroStation.
• A good and increasing commercial awareness to be able to support our work- winning activities nationally and internationally.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently and effectively across teams, whilst also demonstrating a capability to engage with clients and stakeholders.
• A proactive approach to learning and development, ideally working towards Incorporated or Chartered status with either the ICE or CIWEM; together with a willingness to support mentoring of our junior colleagues.
