About The Position

Our vision is to Create Better Places and Futures for Everyone; Socially, Environmentally and Economically. In our Commercial Design and Engineering Team we are dedicated to creating innovative and sustainable design solutions that set new industry standards. We have an opportunity for a Technical/Design & Engineering consultant, referred to internally as a Pavement Engineer. You will be a part of our Design and Engineering team, working closely with our external sales teams, becoming the ‘go-to’ for technical design advice. Working as part of our specialist Design & Engineering team, you'll collaborate closely with colleagues across Specification, Key Contractor Management, Account Management and the wider Sales team to provide technical solutions that help customers achieve their commercial project goals. This is not a desk job, instead you will be out and about alongside the external sales team, to meet with our wide range of customers and internal stakeholders. The key to success will be your ability to balance your technical knowledge whilst communicating design advice in an engaging and consultative way; adding value to projects and securing sales with your specialist advice. Your customers would include, but not be limited to, landscape architects, consultant engineers, main contractor design teams, local authorities and housing developers. You'll develop engineering-led pavement solutions for a wide variety of commercial developments, supporting projects from concept through to construction. Your advice will influence material selection, pavement design, installation methodology and long-term performance, ensuring customers achieve compliant, sustainable and commercially effective outcomes. This is a consultative role where you'll become the trusted technical expert for both internal colleagues and external customers. Your expertise will also be sought out to create technical proposals, build and deliver engineering-focused CPD presentations and provide support to the resolution of on-site issues. Your natural curiosity and eye on future innovation will be a great asset as you support the development of new products, systems and design methodology. Developing a network of contacts and relationships within the engineering community is essential as you share your knowledge and best practice and come up with new ideas.
