* Liaison with local authorities, statutory bodies and clients
* Supporting and mentoring junior team members
You will ideally have
* A degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent
* Around 2 to 4 years UK consultancy experience
* Exposure to highways and drainage design for development
* AutoCAD and ideally Civil 3D or similar
* A proactive, organised and career driven mindset
* A desire to progress toward chartership and leadership
