• Maintain a strong focus on health, safety and environmental standards, and lead site-based HSEQ reviews and audits
• Collaborate with the Main Contractor and Designers to ensure all technical and statutory obligations are met
• Monitor and manage site resources, plant utilisation, and logistics

What We’re Looking For

• A minimum of 5 years' experience delivering civil engineering projects, ideally with watercourse, environmental, or flood risk elements
• Strong academic or technical background in civil engineering, construction management, or a related discipline
• Proven experience managing works under NEC Option A and understanding its implications on cost, risk, and change control
• Competence in producing, reviewing, and managing ITPs, RAMS, and health and safety documentation
• Ability to prepare and deliver professional, well-structured presentations and reports to a range of stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a structured and diligent working style
• Strong planning, coordination, and risk management capability
• SMSTS and CSCS (Black or White Card) required
