• Work collaboratively with clients and stakeholders to deliver excellent project outcomes.
• Foster a culture of continuous learning by a commitment to your own ongoing learning and professional development.

We know today's complex challenges can only be solved through bringing together diverse teams of people from across our business, so there will be opportunities for you to apply your skills and creativity to projects in other geographies and markets.

What You'll Bring

Firstly, you will share our genuine passion for re-imagining engineering and be someone that actively pursues continuous learning to help shape the future. You blend technical knowledge with empathy and big-picture thinking, and you will bring an analytical mindset as well as the ability to innovate and solve problems.
