• An ONC, HNC, HND or Degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
• Some practical setting out experience within civil engineering.
• Familiarity with GPS and Total Station equipment.
• An understanding of engineering drawings and site procedures.
• Good communication skills and a practical, hands-on approach.
• A full UK driving licence.

You don’t need to know everything. A positive attitude, sound engineering fundamentals and a genuine desire to develop will go a long way.

What's in it for you?

• £35,000 £38,000 salary
• Company van
• Company pension
• Health assistance package
• 26 days annual leave
