• A degree (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• Chartered status, or clear progression towards it (ICE or IStructE).
• Proven experience within residential housing, infrastructure, or land development.
• Strong technical knowledge of highways, drainage, utilities, and Section 38/104/278/185 agreements.
