The role

We will offer comprehensive training and development to support you in designing innovative Transport Engineering and Infrastructure solutions across the diverse sectors served by our Built Environment Team

• Confidence with data, numeracy, and IT, along with excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A willingness to learn and the ability to manage multiple project types simultaneously
