Your Role: Assurance Engineer 

Based within the Global Outdoor Operations team and reporting to the Head of Engineering Assurance, this role plays a key part in delivering major CAPEX projects across our Outdoor business. Supporting the delivery of high-quality advertising assets, you’ll help bring ambitious projects to life and contribute to the continued growth and success of our estate. 

Supporting the delivery of high-quality advertising assets, you’ll provide technical assurance across a varied portfolio of projects spanning TfL, Large Format Advertising, Network Rail, Roadside, BT and Airport environments. You’ll act as a trusted assurance voice, helping ensure that designs, installations, handovers, and contractor activities meet the required technical, regulatory, and safety standards.  

If you’re a detail-oriented Assurance Engineer with experience in technical governance, design assurance, construction compliance, inspections, and contractor oversight, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a visible impact across some of the UK’s most high-profile outdoor infrastructure. 

In this role, you’ll work closely with Project Managers, Partnerships, contractors, specialist designers, and operational teams, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved standards and best practice. You’ll review design submissions, monitor technical compliance, support quality assurance processes, and provide engineering assurance through delivery and handover. 

You’ll also help promote consistency, continuous improvement, and strong engineering governance across the wider estate, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical excellence, assurance discipline, and practical project insight in a fast-moving environment.

• Provide practical engineering assurance during installation and commissioning activities where needed. 

• Support safe delivery by verifying that contractor documentation, risk assessments, method statements, and associated controls are appropriate for the works being undertaken. 

Stakeholder & Contractor Assurance 

• Work collaboratively with project teams, contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders to ensure technical expectations are clear and consistently met. 

• Develop and report on Assurance KPIs to identify emerging risks and areas of opportunity. 

• Communicate assurance requirements in a practical and constructive way to support smooth coordination and successful delivery.
