Engineer – Implementation & Constructability

Job Description

Role purpose

To support the planning and delivery of a large-scale, mixed-use development programme by translating master-plan and design information into practical, buildable implementation strategies.

Working under the direction of the Implementation Manager, the Engineer develops construction phasing, site logistics, constructability input, contract-packaging support, implementation metrics and risk assessments, and consolidates these into clear, well-structured reports and presentations — for example, the implementation/constructability report that forms part of the Detailed Masterplan (DMP).

This is a hands-on technical delivery role. The post-holder produces the analysis and documentation; overall strategy, stakeholder management and final sign-off sit with the Implementation Manager.

Key responsibilities

Constructability & construction methodology

• Review master-plan and design information for buildability, flagging conflicts, clashes and construction risks early.
• Develop and compare construction methodologies — e.g. top-down vs bottom-up, cut-and-cover, deep excavation with shoring/retaining systems, slipform/climbing formwork, precast/modular and off-site approaches, and heavy-lifting / SPMT operations.
• Provide constructability input to designers and support value engineering and simplification of construction methods.

Construction phasing & sequencing

• Prepare 2D (and, where required, 4D) phasing plans showing the sequence of assets, roads, utilities and temporary works across the programme.
• Develop sequencing and line-of-balance logic to enable efficient progress and timely asset opening.
• Keep phasing aligned to the latest project programme (IDS / master schedule) and design revisions.

Site logistics & land take

• Plan construction logistics: laydown/land-take zones, haul and temporary construction roads, access and offloading areas, batching-plant locations, and crane/lifting zones.
• Develop traffic-management and delivery strategies (HGV movements, worker transport and accommodation needs) for congested, multi-contractor sites.

Implementation / production metrics

• Develop implementation metrics over time using GFA, programme data and regional benchmarks — e.g. GFA under construction, workforce, concrete volumes, heavy-vehicle movements, tower-crane and plant demand, and asset/key delivery curves.
• Use these metrics to support decisions on facilities, resourcing and contractor demand.

Packaging & procurement support

• Support development of contract/work-packaging strategies, including allocation of assets across contractor tiers and input on procurement routes (e.g. Design & Build vs traditional).
• Identify opportunities to combine or split packages for efficiency.

Interface & coordination

• Coordinate across master-planning, infrastructure, utilities, roads and mobility/rail teams, and between multiple contractors, to manage interfaces and dependencies.

Risk

• Identify implementation risks, carry out qualitative assessment (probability/impact, pre- and post-mitigation), and propose practical mitigations and next steps.

Reporting & document production

• Produce clear, well-structured technical reports, drawings, diagrams, dashboards and presentations to a professional standard, consolidating the above into deliverables such as implementation/constructability reports.

Qualifications

Essential

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or Construction Engineering (or a related discipline).
• Approximately 5–8 years of relevant experience on large building and/or infrastructure projects, with a contractor, consultant/PMC or developer.
• Hands-on exposure to at least two of: construction planning/phasing, constructability/methodology, site logistics, or contract packaging.
• Sound working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing and site logistics on large, complex projects.
