Job description

Astute People is partnering with a leading waste management company to recruit a Project Engineer for a nine-month contract in South Wales. This opportunity is suited to an engineer with experience supporting project delivery from design and engineering through construction and site implementation.

About The Company

Astute People is a specialist recruitment partner working with organisations across the power, energy and infrastructure sectors. For this vacancy, Astute People is supporting a leading waste management company with the appointment of a Project Engineer to contribute to project delivery in South Wales. The role will involve working with the client’s project team and subcontractors to progress engineering activities and support safe, coordinated implementation on site.

About The Role

The Project Engineer will help take engineering deliverables from front-end engineering design (FEED) and detailed design through to construction and site implementation. Working across electrical and mechanical engineering activities, you will coordinate with subcontractors and the wider project team to resolve technical matters, support construction planning and maintain progress against project requirements.

This is a nine-month contract based in South Wales, with a day rate of £350–£375. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working in a project environment where design readiness, programme coordination, contractual obligations and effective communication are all important to successful delivery.

Qualifications

Applicants should have relevant engineering experience and the ability to contribute across electrical and mechanical project activities. Experience taking engineering work through design, construction planning and site implementation will be valuable. Candidates should also be able to review technical documentation, coordinate with subcontractors and communicate effectively with colleagues across a multidisciplinary project team.

A practical, organised approach is important, along with the ability to monitor progress, identify issues and support timely resolution. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a strong awareness of safe and compliant project delivery. The role requires the ability to work in the UK.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will support engineering deliverables from FEED and design through to construction and implementation at site. You will work closely with subcontractors to coordinate engineering activities, clarify technical requirements and help resolve issues that could affect delivery.

You will contribute to construction-phase planning, helping ensure activities are coordinated effectively and delivered in line with the project programme. You will monitor engineering progress and support the completion of contractual obligations and project deliverables. The role also includes providing technical input across electrical and mechanical engineering work and reviewing designs, documentation and other technical deliverables to support construction readiness.

Working with the wider project team, you will help ensure that engineering and construction activities are planned and carried out safely, compliantly and efficiently. Clear communication, attention to detail and a focus on practical outcomes will be important throughout the assignment.

Benefits

This contract offers a day rate of £350–£375 and the opportunity to contribute to a project within the waste management sector. The nine-month assignment provides the chance to apply engineering expertise across design, subcontractor coordination and construction delivery. The position is based in South Wales and offers involvement in a broad range of project engineering activities.
