We are looking to appoint a Site Engineer to join our Project Delivery Team, taking responsibility for the day-to-day engineering and technical control of an allocated area or package of works. Reporting to the Project Manager, Senior Engineer or nominated line manager, you will help ensure construction activities are delivered safely, accurately and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, programme and quality requirements.

You will work closely with project managers, designers, commercial teams, clients and supply chain partners to resolve technical challenges, support right-first-time delivery and ensure quality assurance records are in place. This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive engineer who takes pride in accuracy, enjoys solving problems and wants to develop their career within a leading UK contractor.

• Undertake and check setting out, dimensional control and surveying activities, ensuring control points, benchmarks and survey equipment are accurate, protected, recorded and appropriately calibrated.
• Review drawings, specifications and design information; raise technical queries or requests for information early; and provide sketches, calculations and practical engineering support to keep construction progressing.
• Implement project quality requirements and Inspection and Test Plans, completing inspections and maintaining accurate records including check sheets, test results, as-built information and handover documentation.
• Promote high standards of health, safety, wellbeing and environmental performance, supporting risk assessments, method statements, task briefings and permits, and carrying out Temporary Works Supervisor duties where trained and formally appointed.
• Coordinate with the wider project team and supply chain to monitor progress, identify constraints, plan labour, plant, materials and information, and maintain clear site diaries, drawing registers and engineering trackers.
