• Working closely and collaboratively with the commercial, operational and construction teams to develop efficient, practical and safe solutions throughout design stages, construction and beyond.
• Supervising and mentoring our graduates and engineers, assisting them to develop their knowledge and skills.
• Positively engaging with the client, managing relationships and adopting a one‑team approach to supporting them in achieving their aims.
• Undertaking site reviews to ensure buildability of solutions and integration within the existing systems.

• MMB match employee pension contributions between 4.5% and 7%.
• Independent ownership allows us to share the business's financial success with all colleagues, including an annual bonus scheme.
