Collaborating with clients to optimise structural solutions, address challenges during design or construction phases, and provide guidance on modifications to ensure project objectives are met.
Attending design workshops, client meetings, and site inspections to coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, review progress, and resolve design or construction challenges.

You will have input into how projects are delivered, being encouraged to lead design solutions.
You will also have the opportunity to develop in your leadership and management skills through internal training programs and mentorship from the best leaders and managers throughout the business.
