Designs and delivers highway, traffic, parking, active travel, drainage, and public realm projects. Produces AutoCAD drawings, technical documentation, specifications, cost estimates, quantities, and contract documents. Conducts site visits, inspections, and surveys while incorporating safety, accessibility, sustainability, and maintenance considerations. Collaborates with engineers, project managers, consultants, contractors, developers, public bodies, residents, and businesses throughout feasibility, detailed design, consultation, and construction.

Design structural repair solutions for buildings damaged by fire, flooding, and subsidence. Responsibilities include designing and specifying sub-structure schemes, producing CAD drawings, obtaining permissions, supporting sustainable and net-zero repair approaches, monitoring site work, engaging senior stakeholders, and training colleagues. The role primarily supports listed and historic buildings and requires strong communication, organization, technical judgment, and customer service skills.

Lead mechanical design for consumer electromechanical products from concept through production. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, prototyping, testing, thermal/fluid/structural analysis, cross-functional collaboration, DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing ramp support in Asia. The role requires designing plastic, metal, and soft goods components integrated with sensors and actuators, supporting high-volume manufacturing, and traveling to China as needed.

Build and maintain frontend-leaning, full-stack Creative and Studio products using React and Next.js. Develop AI interfaces, UX/UI workflows, proof-of-concept products, integrations, and end-to-end features. Collaborate with Design, Engineering, Growth, and Sales; iterate based on user feedback; maintain scalable, secure infrastructure; process large datasets; and mentor less experienced engineers. The role emphasizes strong portfolio work and demonstrated software engineering ability rather than formal degrees or certifications.
