Civil Engineer, Design Team Lead - Mega Projects

Are you a qualified civil engineer who has led single-discipline design teams and worked effectively within multidisciplinary design groups?

Your new role

You will be part of a high-performing, delivery-focused civils team that operates across international markets (primarily Canada, the Nordics and UK&I) and project phases, combining design leadership, contractor collaboration and commercial awareness to win and deliver complex design-and-build projects while maintaining strong governance, documentation and client relationships.

• Assist internal tender activities: contribute CRM/PI tool entries, Decision Gates and cost/fee setting for new tenders
• Help manage invoicing and liaise with finance for advisory contract invoicing procedures.
• Maintain and organise project documentation, lists of internal SMEs/contacts, and perform handover/knowledge transfer tasks
• Act as a point of contact for contractors/partners on assigned opportunities and ensure communication handover where required
