• Managing project delivery, quality, invoicing and financial performance
• Supporting bids, fee proposals and client relationships
• Acting as a visible senior presence within the Leeds office
• Playing a key role in long-term growth and succession planning

This is a Chartered-led environment with strong technical standards and senior involvement in projects from inception to delivery

You will ideally bring:

• Chartered status (ICE or equivalent)
• Strong consultancy background in civil infrastructure design
• Proven experience in drainage, SuDS, flood risk assessments, access roads and car parks
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and supporting professional development
• Commercial awareness, including fees, invoicing and team performance
