 Woolpert is an award‑winning, global leader in architecture, engineering, and geospatial services. We blend design excellence with cutting‑edge technology to deliver exceptional client value, and as a certified Great Place to Work®, we embrace progress and innovation to create limitless opportunities for career growth.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Strategic Major Projects Lead – Monitoring Europe to support the growth of our Monitoring Division across mainland Europe. This role is focused on identifying, developing, and helping secure major infrastructure opportunities for monitoring services across key European markets, with an initial focus on priority growth areas.

This role is ideal for someone with strong infrastructure market knowledge, technical credibility, and the ability to develop relationships across clients, consultants, Tier 1 contractors, and project partners. The successful candidate will help position Murphy Geospatial early in project lifecycles, shape opportunities before procurement, and support the conversion of strategic pursuits into live projects.

This is not a traditional regional sales role. It is a front-end growth role centred on major projects, strategic relationship building, market intelligence, and early-stage opportunity development for infrastructure monitoring services.

What You Will Do

Strategic Business Development & Major Projects Growth

Identify and develop major infrastructure opportunities for monitoring services across Europe.

Build and maintain a forward-looking pipeline of major projects across sectors such as rail, highways, tunnelling, utilities, energy, water, and major urban development.

Support the early positioning of Murphy Geospatial’s monitoring capability at pre-tender and pre-procurement stages.

Develop strategic pursuit plans for target projects, clients, consultants, contractors, and framework opportunities.

Work with divisional leadership to support market-entry strategies, target account plans, and growth priorities across mainland Europe.

Help expand Murphy Geospatial’s monitoring presence by leveraging wider group capability and aligning opportunities with strategic business objectives.

Client, Consultant & Contractor Engagement

Identify opportunities early and support qualification of major pursuits.

Work closely with bid, technical, operational, and commercial teams to shape solutions aligned with client needs and project risk profiles.

Support the preparation of proposals, tender submissions, technical presentations, and pre-contract discussions.

Coordinate with internal specialists to ensure opportunities are translated into practical, deliverable, and commercially robust offers.

Collaborate across departments to help position bundled, multi-disciplinary solutions where appropriate.

Market Intelligence & Industry Visibility

Maintain a strong understanding of European infrastructure pipelines, procurement routes, funding drivers, and major capital programmes relevant to monitoring.

Track major public and private infrastructure developments and provide insight into target opportunities, competitors, market trends, and likely routes to market.

Represent Murphy Geospatial at selected client meetings, industry events, conferences, and forums to strengthen visibility and market credibility.

Support internal reporting on pipeline development, activities, and progress against agreed growth priorities.

What You Will Bring

Minimum 5–8 years’ experience in infrastructure, engineering, monitoring, surveying, geotechnical, structural, or technical business development roles.

Experience working with or selling into major infrastructure projects, ideally within sectors such as rail, transportation, utilities, energy, water, tunnelling, or civil engineering.

Strong understanding of how technical services are specified, positioned, procured, and delivered on large capital programmes.

Ability to build relationships with consultants, contractors, asset owners, and project stakeholders across multiple European markets.

Experience supporting bids, tenders, frameworks, or strategic pursuits for major projects.

Commercial awareness with the ability to identify, shape, and develop opportunities from early engagement through to active pursuit.

Knowledge of monitoring, geospatial, surveying, structural, or geotechnical services would be highly advantageous.

Fluency in English is essential. Additional European language capability, particularly German, would be advantageous.

Willingness and ability to travel across Europe as required for client meetings, site visits, events, and opportunity development.

Full right to work in the relevant country of employment.

Key Attributes

Credible presence in infrastructure and major projects environments.

Strong communicator and relationship builder.

Commercially aware with a strategic mindset.

Technically credible and curious.

Proactive, self-driven, and collaborative.

Comfortable working independently across developing markets.
