An established civil engineering contractor is seeking an experienced Site Engineer to join a major infrastructure project on the Orkney Islands.

Candidates from rail, highways, utilities, water, energy, general civil engineering and wider construction backgrounds will be considered. Specific sector experience is not required, provided you have strong engineering fundamentals and can hit the ground running within a live project environment.

The position offers £350 - £375 per day Inside IR35 on an initial 6-8-month contract. The rotation is 11 days on and three days off, with accommodation, food, flights and rotational travel provided.
