  Complete network studies across water, gas, and electricity networks.

\n
• \n

  Draft multi-utility cost models, utility route plans, and professional proposal letters.

\n
• \n

  Review incoming enquiries, request missing project details, and manage variation requests and re-quotes.

\n
• \n

  Use AutoCAD to support the design process and maintain accurate data on the internal system.

\n
• \n

  Collaborate with internal teams, business development managers, and external stakeholders to find practical solutions.

\n

We want to hear from proactive problem-solvers who thrive on accuracy and love working with designs. To excel here, you will need:

• \n

  A working knowledge of AutoCAD, which is essential for this position.

\n

  A SHEA Water, Electric, Gas, or Utilities certification (any formal water or electrical qualifications are highly desirable).

\n

Our client is known for looking after their team with an exceptional benefits package and a salary of £26,500 to £30,000 depending on experience:

\n
• \n

  Family-Friendly Leave: Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave, plus fertility support and up to five paid carer's days.
