You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and engage with various stakeholders, ensuring that projects meet the highest standards.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Review road and highway design drawings, reports, and specifications prepared by third-party designers at concept and detailed design stages, focusing on interfaces with structures, drainage, utilities, traffic, and other disciplines.
• Develop and evaluate conceptual design options for roads, junctions, and interchanges to support the PMO and client decision-making, including layout alternatives and high-level geometric solutions.
• Contribute to value engineering studies for highways and interchanges, identifying opportunities to optimize geometry, pavement solutions, and safety features while maintaining compliance with standards and project objectives.
• Prepare engineering details, sketches, and exhibits to illustrate design concepts, value engineering proposals, and design clarifications.
• Review pavement design and road safety-related elements prepared by third parties, ensuring recommendations are technically sound and aligned with applicable standards and best practices.
• Review third-party design submissions, supplier drawings, and technical documents, and prepare clear, coordinated technical comments and responses for PMO and client approval processes.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (bridges/structures, drainage, utilities, traffic, and architectural/landscape) to resolve design issues and ensure coherent, integrated solutions.
• Prepare and deliver presentations on complex road and interchange design matters to internal teams, clients, and external stakeholders.
• Assist in assessing design risks, constructability aspects, and phasing considerations for major road and interchange schemes.
• Perform other responsibilities associated with this position as may be appropriate.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in road and highway design, preferably including work on major highways and interchanges.
• Solid experience in geometric road design, including horizontal and vertical alignments, cross-sections, and junction layouts in accordance with relevant international and local standards.
• Demonstrated experience in reviewing designs prepared by third-party consultants and producing structured, technically robust review comments.
• Working knowledge of pavement design principles and road safety engineering, with the ability to understand, challenge, and refine third-party proposals.
• Experience contributing to concept development and value engineering on road and highway projects.
• Experience working within a multidisciplinary team environment and coordinating with other disciplines.
• Proactive, solution-oriented approach, with willingness to support PMO processes and collaborate across teams to enhance overall project delivery.
• Good presentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring:

• Previous experience in a design consultancy and/or PMC/PMO environment.
• Chartered Engineer (or similar) status with an industry-recognized engineering body.
• Proficiency with relevant road design tools (e.g., AutoCAD Civil 3D, InRoads, or equivalent) sufficient to test concepts and prepare supporting sketches and exhibits.
• Experience participating in design review workshops, value engineering sessions, or technical coordination meetings for major infrastructure projects.

Benefits:
