Chartered Engineer (CEng MIStructE or MICE).
Extensive structural engineering experience within the UK water and wastewater sector.
Specific experience with Category A reservoir safety projects, siphons, or spillways is highly desirable.
Deep knowledge of reinforced concrete design for water-retaining structures and an understanding of dynamic loading (e.g., thrust forces, surge, and flotation).
Proven track record of developing structural fee estimates, identifying commercial risks, and successfully protecting the commercial position of a design package.
Strong understanding of BIM workflows and the ability to oversee Revit model development and drawing extraction.
Demonstrated ability to lead, motivate, and technically guide a structural design team under tight deadlines.
