- Experience of complying with legal and regulatory standards and working with appropriate national, international and nuclear specific design codes and standards;
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including report writing, presentations, negotiations and customer facing skills;
- Sound knowledge of current health, safety and environmental legislation in relation to civil engineering and specifically in the delivery utility/infrastructure related projects.
- Thorough knowledge of up to date industrial practices related to discipline-specific engineering, including safety through design.
- Good working knowledge of identifying hazards in a project lifecycle, applying the principles of prevention and recording design decisions in the assessment of hazards/risks.
- Knowledge, understanding and experience of CDM 2015, with experience of fulfilling the role of Principal Designer;
- Knowledge, understanding and experience of NEC3 contracts, with experience of preparing Works Information documentation;
- Experience of producing high quality technical documentation, including functional and technical specifications and project documentation;
- Experience of managing staff/agency/contractor resources and working with contractors/supply chain to deliver on budget and to schedule;
