Do you have what it takes to transform society?

Do you enjoy being part of a dynamic and inclusive team where respect for people is a priority? Then Sweco is the place to be!

We are currently looking for a talented and motivated Technical/Operations Manager or Director to join our Transportation team in Leeds. At Sweco we recognise the importance of work life balance and offer colleagues hybrid working and flexible working.

Our transport engineering teams are recognised industry leaders and operate across several markets including the strategic road network, local roads, public realm improvements and private developments through a series of investment programmes, professional service frameworks and bespoke project commissions. We work for a wide range of clients including national government agencies, local authorities, private developers and contractors. We use the latest design software and techniques to produce innovative, efficient and sustainable design solutions for our clients.

What does the role involve?

You will play a leading role in the delivery of roads, active travel and public transport projects within multidisciplinary design teams by working closely with our clients to understand their needs and ensuring they are met. You will be responsible for:

Identifying opportunities, running tenders, winning work, co-ordinating discussions with the bid executive, bid team and legal team to ensure that adequate provisions are included in all bids to manage and mitigate all risks.
Ensuring consistency of design approach and deliverable outputs within the project portfolio.
Supporting the technical and professional development of colleagues.
Undertaking a leading role in developing and maintaining our relationships with key clients and partners through active client engagement and building strong relationships through excellent delivery and expert knowledge.
Liaising and co-ordinating with colleagues to drive a consistent and thorough approach to managing work pipelines across the department and division and collaborating across the business.
The monitoring and reporting of the project’s financial performance.
Identifying risks and opportunities.
Liaising with clients, regulators and stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of project deliverables.
Managing and mentoring colleagues.

To be successful in this role you’ll possess

Chartered membership of a relevant professional institution.
The ability to work across multi-discipline environments within Sweco business areas and generate business from leads.
Good client understanding of projects across the division with great sales and presentation skills.
The ability to influence strategic decision-making within the business and make commercial decisions within defined parameters (delivers to agreed project scope, time, cost and quality).
Excellent consultancy, communication and relationship management skills with experience of conducting workshops and giving presentations.
The ability to engage with key stakeholders to gain commitment and to influence the acceptance of new ideas and concepts in respect of change plans.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt your style to suit different audiences.
Strong leadership skills to enable you to be a pro-active part of the department management team working alongside and providing support to the wider team in the development of overall objectives.
Extensive experience of relevant tender processes with the ability to understand the brief and demonstrate our professional capability.
Experience in delivering projects for a range of clients (contractors, local authorities, combined authorities, private developers).
Excellent time management and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop solutions.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.
