Design Delivery is currently undergoing significant growth and development within BakerHicks, and thus we are looking for talented professionals with established and developing experience, to work within a multidisciplinary team delivering a portfolio of exciting projects across various sectors.
You will lead our design and engineering services projects, responsible for overseeing all aspects of project planning, execution, and delivery within the designated scope.
