Assisting with design work and CAD production

What they’re looking for:
Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering (preferred, but not essential)

A valid driving licence (essential)
A motivated, proactive individual who wants to learn and grow within a supportive team

A chance to work in a small, friendly team with excellent exposure to all aspects of civil engineering projects
