Using your people, technical and delivery skills, you will be responsible for delivering a variety of civil and structural design packages and projects for new highway schemes, maintenance and assessment works. Your duties will include the management of both individual design packages and entire projects, supporting project resourcing and financial control to ensure our schemes are delivered profitably, to programme and in accordance with Atkins’ quality assurance systems.
You will have a background in civil engineering design and experience of delivery of single and multi-disciplinary projects within highway and local authority environments. You will ideally be familiar with working on projects at varying stages of development from feasibility to detailed design.
Qualifications:

- Good awareness and understanding of relevant design standards (e.g. DMRB, TSRGD, MCHW, Eurocodes and those of National Highways and Manual for Streets).
- Experience of grillage, space frame and finite element analysis software packages, such as LUSAS, MIDAS, SuperStress and/or Autodesk Structural Bridge Design.
- Ability to prepare reports and collate specifications – for projects and tenders.
- Sound knowledge of Microsoft Office programmes, particularly Word and Excel.
- Sound interpersonal skills and ability to converse with a wide range of colleagues across a number of engineering disciplines.
