About the role

As a Principal enthusiastic and effective Engineer, you will lead a team of engineers of varying levels of experience delivering a wide variety of highways improvements throughout Lincolnshire.

Working within the political and business environment of the Council you will develop strong positive relationships with clients, colleagues and partners across all service areas. You will need to think creatively and work collaboratively, seeking opportunities to improve individual and team performance and service delivery in line with the Council\'s objectives.

About You

You will be an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer (or equivalent) and be fully familiar with relevant standards.

You will have experience of delivering high quality schemes and an eye for detail. Passionate about developing people and mentoring, you will provide strong directional leadership to inspire and motivate a team of public and private sector staff. With excellent communication skills, you will also demonstrate effective behaviours in the way you work with your colleagues, clients and stakeholders.

With demonstrable road design experience since getting your IEng or CEng you will have line management experience who is confident in leading a team.
