We care about the communities we serve—because they're our communities too. We're designers, engineers, scientists, and project managers, innovating together at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships.

Key aspects of the roll will be:

- Project technical leader on assigned projects to deliver the agreed outputs on budget, on time and to quality standards.

- Organise tender documents, evaluate tenders and contracts.
- Develop and mentor junior staff.
- Develop and maintain strong client relationships through excellent project performance.
- Provide advice, solutions and project outcomes that create value for clients.
