This may include experience in areas such as: Infrastructure and civil engineering design Drainage and SuDS Highways and development infrastructure Multi-disciplinary project delivery Private sector development projects and public sector works Hands-on design capability is beneficial, but not essential, as the emphasis is on leadership, oversight, and technical governance.   Leadership, Ownership & Progression This is an employee-led business where people are genuinely invested in the long-term success of the company.
