Engineering BIM Highways Technician

We have a number of ongoing framework and major project commissions, providing a steady volume of a wide range of work, from feasibility studies right through to detailed design and supervision of construction. This role offers the unrivalled opportunity to be a part of developing our national infrastructure, including some of the largest transportation projects in the country.

To meet our growth ambitions, we are looking to recruit an Engineering BIM Highways Technician who has experience in highways-related civil infrastructure design and detailing, and who will play a key role in the development and delivery of major projects in this field. We are looking for a qualified and experienced technician who will make a valuable contribution to both the design and construction process. This role will be in the Transportation sector and will primarily be based in our Epsom office. However, priority will be given to applicants who will, in the future, enjoy the challenge and rewards of managing BIM deployment on construction sites in the South East.
