Working as a key member of the Project Delivery team, you will collaborate closely with clients, designers, contractors, and suppliers, helping them to realise their goals and outcomes through effective information management.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for career development, working on high‑profile projects across the UK, Ireland, and internationally, and contributing to the evolution of digital delivery in the transportation sector.
