* Plan and manage pavement condition surveys (FWD, coring, visual inspections) and interpret results.
* Undertake materials assessment and specification for flexible, rigid and composite pavements.
* Perform structural evaluation and multi-layer elastic analysis; develop maintenance/renewal strategies and whole-life options.
* Prepare concept, preliminary and detailed pavement designs, drawings and specifications.
* Contribute to cost estimates, BoQs and risk registers; support value engineering and carbon-reduction options.
