Job description

We're looking for a Senior Engineer with at least ten years' solid experience across commercial construction. This isn't a role for someone who just sets out and goes home - we need someone who can really get into the detail, challenge drawings, and add value throughout the build.

What the role involves

• Supporting the delivery team with technical know-how, problem-solving and practical solutions
• Reviewing and interrogating drawings before they hit site
• Spotting clashes, highlighting risks and helping shape the best way to build each element
• Overseeing quality, surveys, checks and site documentation
• Helping guide junior engineers and improving standards across the project
• Working closely with managers, subcontractors and designers to keep the job moving in the right direction

What we're looking for

• Minimum 10 years' broad-based engineering experience in commercial construction
• Someone who can do the setting out, but also brings more to the table
• Strong technical judgement and confidence working through design issues
• Good communicator who isn't afraid to speak up when something doesn't look right
• Reliable, proactive and able to drive standards on site

What we offer

• £45-55K + package (depending on experience)
• A stable pipeline of commercial projects
• A team that values practical experience and honest communication
• Opportunity to influence how projects are delivered, not just implement them

If you're a seasoned engineer who enjoys being involved in the bigger picture, we'd be keen to have a conversation.
