This is a technical authority role within a design-and-build contractor: you will influence bids, ground investigation, design strategy and construction methodology, then remain involved when work reaches site. Projects may include tunnelling, HDD, microtunnelling, pipe jacking, shafts, utilities, water and energy infrastructure, complex excavations and groundwater-related works.
