The Role

You’ll work closely with Site and Project Managers to plan and manage day-to-day site activities, while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and technical precision.

Responsibilities

• Carrying out setting out and other engineering activities as directed by the Site Manager.
• Checking Inspection Test Plans and ensuring site installations meet specifications.
• Monitoring quality control procedures and maintaining accurate records.
• Supporting the Site Manager in resolving technical challenges and promoting safe working practices in line with Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental standards.

What we’d love to hear from you

You have a strong background in civil engineering and a proactive, solutions-focused approach to your work. You’ll bring solid technical knowledge, strong organisational skills, and the confidence to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders at all levels.

You’ll also be comfortable producing inspection and test plans, risk assessments, and method statements, ensuring that all work is carried out safely and to specification.

A good understanding of health and safety practices, quality control, and commercial awareness will be key to your success in this role, as will competence in CAD and general IT systems. Experience working on large civil engineering or utilities projects would be highly advantageous, along with developed knowledge of client quality standards and commercial processes.

You’ll take pride in your work, demonstrate a collaborative attitude, and lead by example in maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and professionalism. A full and valid UK driving licence is essential for this role, and holding a current CSCS card would be an advantage.
