We know that different people have different priorities, which is why we're here to support you. Flexible and remote working is a central part of our culture. So talk to us about what's ideal for you - from reduced weeks to buying more leave over school holidays.

You'll also support major energy infrastructure such as the Skye Overhead Line Realignment.

With a strong pipeline of impactful work, we offer exciting opportunities to grow your career and help deliver projects that make a real difference.

Your role

  • Be part of the team responsible for the technical delivery of highway infrastructure projects.
  • Using highways design, drainage and other software packages to deliver technically robust designs.
  • Mentoring and coaching team members and taking responsibility for their technical development.
  • Assisting Project Managers on technical aspects of designs from project initiation through to completion.
  • Delegating work to team members, programming deliverables and monitoring progress.
  • Support the business in work winning activities including representing the business at networking events and preparing tenders.

About you

  • Excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills.
  • A resourceful, articulate and clear communicator, with the ability to influence others.
  • A hard working and flexible individual, who is a team player, is reliable, proactive and shows initiative.
  • Self-motivated and able to work both independently as well as within a larger multi-discipline team.
  • A high expectation of performance for themselves and other members of the team.
  • Ability to communicate effectively at all levels.
  • A supportive and encouraging approach to mentoring less experienced members of the team.
