Job description

Our client is a growing project-led construction business operating across the North West. The organisation works in live delivery environments where accurate information, strong site coordination and practical problem solving are essential to maintaining progress and standards. As part of continued investment in its site teams, they are now seeking to appoint a Site Engineer to support day-to-day activity across a busy programme of regional projects.

The Role

The Site Engineer will support day-to-day activity across live construction sites, helping to ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required standard. Working closely with site teams, supervisors, engineers and project leads, the role will support site coordination, maintain accurate records, assist with quality checks and help ensure works are completed in line with drawings, specifications and project requirements.

The role will support delivery across the water and wastewater sector, working on United Utilities' Better Rivers framework. Projects will be focused on improving water quality and reducing CSO spills, with works including storm water detention tanks, both below-ground caissons and above-ground glass-coated steel tanks, CSO works, pumping stations, associated MEICA works, deep drainage and tunnelling works.

The position will involve supporting progress monitoring, site records, quality checks, as-built information and wider project documentation. The role may also involve setting out, surveys, levels, measurements and technical checks where required. This is a practical, site-based role suited to someone who is comfortable working close to the work and supporting delivery in a fast-moving construction environment.

Candidates will bring experience in a site-based role within construction, civil engineering, infrastructure, utilities or a comparable project-led environment. A practical and organised approach is essential, alongside the ability to communicate clearly with site teams, manage day-to-day priorities and maintain accurate records, checks and project information.
