• Liaise with consultants, contractors, and internal teams to support the delivery of cost-effective and buildable solutions.

• Contribute to value engineering reviews to improve efficiency and sustainability.

• Provide day-to-day technical support to site teams and help resolve on-site engineering issues.

• Assist in monitoring project progress, budgets, and risks from an engineering perspective.

• Support adoption processes for completed infrastructure and liaise with relevant authorities.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Experience working within a housebuilding, consultancy, or civil engineering environment.

• Understanding of infrastructure design, groundworks, and adoption processes.
