Job description

Cityscape Recruitment

Site Engineer / Senior Engineer x 2 – RC Frame & Groundworks

£260 to £330 per day

Projects: Welwyn Garden City (Hertfordshire) and London

About the Requirement:

If you are interested in applying, there are a few requirements you will need to check first:

To be successful, all applicants must:

Have worked for rival reinforced concrete frame subcontractors in the UK.

Be qualified in civil engineering or structural engineering and have a minimum of 4 years on site, setting out experience while working for RC frame subcontractors.

Be prepared to carry out setting out duties. While some of the options may involve senior engineering duties, all will also involve setting out.

Have stable careers that reflect your commitment to stick with individual employers for complete projects. While this last point isn’t always easy to measure, in short, my client does not want to consider people who have moved jobs every 6 months. They have made this last point as they only want to consider people who will be sticking around. These are long‑term roles and not just for the initial projects, but for future projects also. So, I need people who stick with individual companies and would make this move for a long‑term opportunity.

About the Opportunities:

I have been asked to recruit two experienced Site Engineers/Senior Engineers for one of my very best clients due to expanding work levels and recent promotions. You will be guided and developed while working on excellent projects, surrounded by professionals who work as a team to deliver packages on some of the largest schemes in town.

Do you want to join a contractor that cares about its team?

Do you want the peace of mind that comes with continuous work?

Do you want to be surrounded by like‑minded people who work together?

And do you fit the criteria set out in the 4 points above?

About the Company:

Turnover is currently above £100 million per annum.

They have been trading for over 20 years.

And they work on some of the highest‑profile projects in town! How does this help you?

Well, it means they aren’t a new kid on the block, so the risk factor drops.

They won’t be running out of work any time soon, so your job is safe.

You won’t have to work on sites that aren’t run in the correct manner, so standards will be at the right level.

Plus, if you do have aspirations to climb the management ladder, this business can support you and help you get there.

On a personal note, I rank this business as one of the top 3 RC frame contractors in the UK, and most people I speak to say the same.

About the Benefits:

£260 to £330 per day. Saturday shifts may also be available.

Day or hourly rates will be agreed with every individual on a case‑by‑case basis depending on how much experience (in the right areas) you have.

The main driving point for wanting one of these roles should be the long‑term employment.

This isn’t just a recruitment drive for one scheme. This business has specifically looked at resources that they want to develop and retain for the years to come and these roles have been released following that.

About Me, Your Consultant:

My name is Andrew Jackson, and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd.

I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.

I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and when considering options, I can help you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward.

I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don’t tell people whatever it takes; I tell them the truth.

My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then let you decide what feels right
