• Support the delivery of real engineering and infrastructure projects
• Assist with modelling, technical drawings, analysis, and site data
• Contribute to energy efficiency, sustainability, and carbon reduction initiatives
• Work collaboratively with engineering, commercial, operational, and consulting teams
• Apply data and insight to support decision-making and project outcomes
