• Ensure full compliance with CDM regulations throughout the design process.
• Lead and coordinate civil and structural consultants to deliver cost‑effective road, sewer, cut‑and‑fill and foundation designs.
• Liaise with highway authorities, water companies and the Environment Agency to resolve statutory engineering matters.
• Oversee the preparation of foundations and plot drainage, monitoring CML issues to keep construction on schedule.
• Secure all necessary technical approvals and attend pre‑tender, pre‑start and regular site meetings.
• Perform regular site inspections to verify design implementation and address emerging issues.
• Apply thorough knowledge of building regulations, NHBC standards and ground‑condition assessment techniques.
• Interpret environmental and geotechnical reports to formulate practical recommendations.
• Negotiate successful technical consents and maintain strong relationships with key engineering partners.
