• Support NEC contract administration through quality records, early warnings and change control where required.
• Monitor progress, identify risks and support programme delivery.
• Ensure all works are delivered safely and in accordance with CDM regulations and company procedures.
• Assist with Temporary Works coordination where required.

You'll have:

• Proven experience working as a Senior Site Engineer on highways infrastructure projects.
• Strong knowledge of highways construction and utilities coordination.
• Experience mentoring or managing junior engineers.
• Excellent setting out skills using GPS and Total Station equipment.

• Experience liaising with local authorities and statutory undertakers.
• CSCS Card.
• SMSTS or SSSTS (preferred).
• First Aid at Work.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
• HNC/HND or Degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).

Why Apply?

• Opportunity to work on a flagship £250m highways project.
• Join an experienced and supportive delivery team.

• Initial 3-month contract with strong potential for extension.
• Varied role combining technical delivery with team leadership.
