The focus of this position is on team leadership, project oversight, and client engagement, rather than day-to-day design production.

This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys shaping teams, mentoring engineers, and being closely involved in the direction of projects and the wider business. A standout feature of this role is the clear progression pathway to board level, with the opportunity for the successful person to move into a board position in as little as 12 months, based on performance and fit.

Technical Background You'll bring a broad technical foundation in civil and infrastructure engineering, enabling you to guide teams, review work, and provide high-level technical direction. This may include experience in areas such as: Infrastructure and civil engineering design Drainage and SuDS Highways and development infrastructure Multi-disciplinary project delivery Private sector development projects and public sector works Hands-on design capability is beneficial, but not essential, as the emphasis is on leadership, oversight, and technical governance.
