• Risk identification with proposed resolution / mitigation.


• Develop appropriate deliverables list and format (drawings, specifications, reports, BIM etc.)


• Quality management and assurance of all Structural Engineering deliverables.


• Health & Safety management including production of appropriate designer risk assessments.


Here's what you'll need:

• Engineering experience demonstrating a record of successful delivery including recent positions influencing professional engineers and guiding technical personnel.


• Experience of working within a regulated and quality assured system in roles where professional judgement is the key attribute.
