  • Supporting engineering control of construction activities, including technical queries and temporary works implementation,
  • Ensuring compliance with health, safety, environmental, and permit requirements at all times,
  • Maintaining accurate as-built, survey, and setting-out records in line with agreed quality systems.

What are we looking for?

This role of Site Engineer is great for you if:

  • You hold a degree, HNC or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction, or a related discipline,
  • You have relevant experience in civil engineering works, including setting out, and hold a CSCS card,
  • You have a good working knowledge of survey equipment, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Office,
  • You can communicate effectively and work collaboratively with engineers, supervisors, subcontractors, and the wider site workforce,
  • You have demonstrable experience in highly regulated or safety-critical environments with strong attention to accuracy and documentation.

Would you like to work with a friendly and dedicated team? Then we would like to hear from you!
