• This role forms an integral part of our award-winning in-house Construction Engineering Team (CET), managing and leading a team of Design Engineers.

• Leading design conceptualisation – challenging the brief, enabling innovative development of unambiguous, sustainable engineering solutions from feasibility through to detailed design information.
• Developing concepts by leading initial discussions with clients and other stakeholders
• Working with the broader project teams to understand time frames/key risks/technical constraints
• Leading strategy and delivery to meet client’s requirements
• Team strategy, aligned with the wider business objectives and supporting the development of procedures and process.
• Managing and monitoring spend in relation to budgets, driving efficiency; leading and developing the design change management approach on projects
• Ensuring lessons learned and best practice are incorporated into tender proposals as opportunities or risks.
• This is far from pure transactional temporary works design – our CET team is involved in whole building analysis, to determine how we can add value to the construction process. This goes hand in hand with managing the challenges of working with existing buildings and the complex logistical constraints working in central London brings.
