  2. Relevant tertiary qualifications in Civil Engineering or a related field.
  3. Proven ability to lead and deliver large, complex projects on time and within budget.
  4. In-depth knowledge of relevant industry legislation, regulations, and guidelines.
  5. Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively at all levels and foster teamwork under pressure.
