You will also coordinate major bids involving multidisciplinary and ground condition-related work.

Key Responsibilities

We seek a highly organised, excellent communicator, commercially savvy individual who leads projects proactively. Strong technical knowledge of ground assessments and an understanding of wider disciplines like ecology, archaeology, and flood risk are desirable. Experience with contract management, especially NEC contracts, is also preferred.

This role suits someone with significant project delivery experience in a multidisciplinary consultancy, who enjoys diverse projects, is eager to learn, and is a natural problem solver.
