·Familiarity with AutoCAD or similar design software (desirable but not essential).
·A willingness to learn and apply technical standards such as DMRB and Manual for Streets.
·Strong teamwork skills, with the ability to contribute positively to project delivery.
·An interest in developing towards professional accreditation (CEng, IEng).
