Overview
The role will provide technical design input into proposing and detailing design solutions for upcoming pavement renewal schemes across the Connect Plus Services (M25) network. There is a wide range of pavement engineering challenges across the M25, and the need for safe, efficient and cost-effective design solutions is fundamental to maintaining the operation and performance of one of the UK’s busiest and most critical road networks. The Pavement Engineer will contribute to the development of pavement schemes, supporting design activities from concept through to detailed design under guidance of senior engineers, and follow through practical construction onsite across the M25 network. The role includes providing technical support to engineering reviews with stakeholders and contributing to pavement designs that consider safe, efficient and buildable construction processes. The role requires effective design coordination, checking documentation produced by Framework Consultants, and supporting the management of design workloads in line with delivery priorities, programme constraints and road space booking requirements. Close working relationships with Asset engineers, Project Managers and designers responsible for relevant assets are essential. General: The role focuses on supporting the delivery of cost-effective pavement design solutions that maintain or improve the M25 highways asset in accordance with agreed standards and stakeholder requirements. Contribute to the delivery of outcomes agreed with National Highways and Connect Plus DBFO Co. to programme and budget, and to meet CPS quality standards. Coordinate with Design, Asset and PM teams and organisations (NH SES). We offer a flexible hybrid working approach, with offices and sites in central locations near Canary Wharf, Waterloo, Victoria, Epsom/Leatherhead, Dartford and South Mimms.
