EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

In this role you will undertake feasibility evaluation/assessment for AMP8 projects. Once into Outline Design, the design will be discipline led and you will come up with innovative technical design solutions and specifications to support the delivery of our projects.

You will need to consider the wider context of our changing environment, climate change pledge and carbon commitments.
