• Establishing the parameters and set out the construction sequence for the delivery (construction) phase of the project.
• Providing construction planning to support the engagement with stakeholders and support DCO activities
• Assessing the project plans and engineering designs to demonstrate that the scheme can be delivered within the timeframe, will not affect the operations of the airport and minimise impact to the local communities.
• Conduct constructability reviews and integration with the design team to ensure a buildable design, identify opportunities early to improve cost and delivery, identify issues early ad incorporate into design.
• Construction work planning including construction techniques for delivery
• Work Packaging and sequencing
• Supply Chain review including capabilities and availability

The Construction Engineer role will support the Senior Construction Engineer in the development and delivery of this critical component of the programme, ensuring scope, schedule, and quality requirements are met safely and efficiently.
