The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.
We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract and are currently looking for a ITS/Technology Design Engineer to support the delivery of ITS/Technology design activities across the M25 network. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, the role involves assisting with the development, review, and coordination of design solutions for a range of roadside technology assets. Will contribute to safe, cost‑effective, and compliant designs while developing professional engineering skills, technical knowledge, and experience of the full project lifecycle. The role includes structured mentoring, on‑the‑job learning, and opportunities for progression toward professional accreditation.
Responsibilities:
- Assist in the preparation of ITS/Technology designs for assets such as CCTV, signals, VMS, ERT, and MIDAS, under supervision from senior engineers.
- Contribute to the production of drawings, documents, and technical reports.
- Support senior engineers during design reviews to ensure completeness and compliance with standards.
- Participate in optioneering and feasibility activities, including data gathering and basic assessment work.
- Help compile design briefs, technical inputs, and documentation for design suppliers.
- Assist in monitoring progress against programme and budget, providing updates to senior engineers and project managers.
- Support liaison with internal teams and help gather information required for design stages.
- Help collate and prepare technical submissions for the Review Process in accordance with the DBFO contract.
- Contribute to quality assurance activities and ensure documentation follows CPS standards and procedures.
- Participate in site visits, surveys, and inspections to support design development (training provided).
- Assist in capturing lessons learned and contribute ideas for innovation and continuous improvement.
- Ensure compliance with CDM requirements by supporting senior engineers with Designer’s duties.
- Support the delivery of the business’ sustainability objectives through responsible design practice.
