Job description

Site Investigation Engineer - building testing and inspection.

Engineering Technician or Graduate Engineer required for a trainee role. You will work on-site, investigating buildings and existing structures on projects across London and East Anglia.

Working for an engineering specialist, this is not setting out or construction.

As a Site Investigation Engineer, you'll need an interest in building surveying, and how buildings and structures work.

You will work on a range of historical and modern buildings, learning how to test, inspect and assess structures. This includes note-taking, data collection, setting up and using specialist site investigation equipment, running tests and sampling for repair work.

The role suits a practical or technical person who is interested in buildings and likes working outside and on-site.

A BTEC qualification in a Built Environment or Civil Engineering subject would be ideal. More important is your interest in building investigation, your enthusiasm and your willingness to learn. Prior experience isn't necessary at a trainee level.

Join a thriving engineering consultancy with work and offices across the UK and abroad.

As Site Investigation Engineer, join a business that will encourage your development and invest in your career.

You'll need a full UK Driving Licence and prior UK work experience for defence clearance. You must be willing to travel and work on sites in London and East Anglia, travelling as a team from a Cambridge office.
