• Technical delivery & quality assurance - Produce rigorous feasibility studies, design inputs and compliant modelling reports with strong attention to validation and traceability.
• Collaboration & client engagement - Able to manage small projects, present findings to clients and work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
