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.
