4. Supporting construction by fulfilling Designer responsibilities under CDM 2015
5. Applying CIRIA guidance, British Standards, and Anglian Water design frameworks
6. Creating safe, buildable, and maintainable SuDS designs with long-term performance in mind

What we’re looking for:

1. A degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering (2:1 minimum)
2. Proven experience delivering SuDS designs across the full project lifecycle
3. Confidence working in retrofit and constrained urban environments
4. Familiarity with drainage design standards and health & safety principles
