* Supporting design and construction reviews, identifying and mitigating design risks.
* Providing expert technical guidance to project teams and contributing to design innovation.
* Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants and suppliers.
* Mentoring and developing junior engineers within the team.

* Excellent communication and report‑writing skills, with a collaborative and problem‑solving approach.
* Strong working knowledge of relevant standards, codes and regulations.
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office and with design tools.
* A passion for innovation, safety and continuous improvement.
* Due to the nature of the projects, candidates must have lived and worked in the UK for at least the past 5 years to meet security clearance requirements.
