Job description

My client is a well-established company who are delivering a complex and multi-disciplinary civils and utilities project in Leiston, East Anglia and they’re looking to expand their team with skilled Site Engineers. The scope of works is wide-ranging, covering earthworks, drainage, paving, building construction, and the installation of structural steel and concrete, as well as ductile iron pipework and equipment racking.

Acting as Principal Contractor and undertaking much of the work through self-delivery, the role demands a strong understanding of engineering principles, on-site execution, and compliance in highly regulated environments. You will play a key role in ensuring that works are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the correct technical and quality standards.

• You should be able to carry out setting out and engineering duties as directed by the Site Manager, ensuring works are delivered to specification and design.
• Oversee technical quality and installation standards through inspection and test plans, ensuring compliance with relevant specifications.
• Monitor site quality control procedures and assist in resolving engineering and technical issues as they arise.
• Support safe site operations by ensuring compliance with Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental procedures.
• Ensure equipment and instrumentation is properly calibrated and maintained.
• Input into programme updates, KPIs, material reconciliation, and reporting, supporting efficient delivery and cost control.
• Contribute to planning and daily site management, liaising with site teams and subcontractors.
• Maintain understanding of and compliance with project management systems, including the Construction Phase H&S Plan, Environmental and Quality Plans.

If you’re a degree-qualified (or equivalent) civil engineer with hands-on experience in the civils or utilities sector this could be a great role for you. You should be confident in setting out, surveying, managing quality, and producing inspection and test plans. A CSCS Card and Full UK Driving Licence are also required.

You’ll need a solid grasp of CDM regulations, health and safety, and a collaborative, solutions-focused approach. Strong communication, planning and organisational skills are essential.

Ideally, you’ll have or be working towards chartership (ICE, CIOB, CIHT or APM) and hold additional qualifications such as SMSTS/SSSTS, Temporary Works Supervisor, or training in Confined Spaces and NRSWA. Experience with major civil engineering schemes, deep excavations, or complex builds is a strong advantage.

Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit. Check our Blog for more information.
