You will support design efforts for various infrastructure schemes, ensuring all designs are compliant with current legislation and standards.
What you'll be doing
- Collaborate with Design Managers and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
- Work with Principal Engineers to improve design calculations, standards, and products.
- Review project drawings, calculations, and change requests for standards compliance and responsiveness.
- Lead design review meetings and contribute to CDM and commissioning strategies.
- Maintain quality using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) workflows and support engineers to meet project timelines.
- Promote innovative technologies, manage technical knowledge, and adhere to MAS standards.
- Mentor engineers to develop skills and establish procedures.
Who we're looking for

- Proven track record as a technical expert in designing potable and wastewater pipelines, including quality assurance and risk management.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
