• Coordinating the project team including civil, electrical, mechanical and process designers, BIM modelers and technical specialists and ensure designs are completed on programme, within budget, and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications
  

• Undertake design in own discipline and mentor less experienced colleagues where appropriate
  

• Building positive relationships with the clients’ project, operational and technical assurance teams and promote a "one-team" approach
