ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Engineering Director of this specialist contractor, it will be your responsibility to manage and lead the whole engineering team across 20+ live sites in and around London. This will include recruitment, development, and career planning at all levels from setting out engineers through to project engineers. You will have involvement in the preconstruction phases to ensure engineering needs are being handled and the right teams are allocated to each project. This is a pivotal role as the technical requirements of each project differ, and you will be called on by site teams to help problem solve issues and offer guidance when needed. This opportunity will report directly to the construction director and managing director of the business. Current project/package sizes vary from £10m to £60m each and include large reinforced concrete frames/structures, basements, and associated groundworks.

REQUIREMENTS

All applicants must be degree-qualified in civil engineering or structural engineering. Candidates with an engineering management background or those who have operated at a project management or contracts management level and are keen to move into this role are encouraged to apply. Due to the technical nature of the works involved, candidates must have a proven history working for similar reinforced concrete frames, basements, and groundworks subcontractors in the UK. I am open to confidential conversations with interested candidates.
