  • Author design or technical reports, specifications and tender technical documents, coordinating input from designers and other disciplines.

  • Write tender methodology and technical responses, and prepare fee and resource estimates.

  • Delegate and manage the work of a small team, balancing workload and holding others to deadlines.

  • Coordinate with other disciplines to deliver integrated outcomes.
