Job description

We are ambitious - and keen to hear from determined and motivated people like you, who are interested in developing their engineering experience in the world of utilities.

We have an opportunity for an experienced Site Engineer to join our team, supporting the safe and efficient delivery of civil engineering works. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build on their experience and take ownership of engineering activities on site.

The Role

As a Site Engineer, you’ll play a key part in ensuring construction operations are delivered safely, accurately, and in compliance with client and company standards. You’ll work closely with Site and Project Managers to plan and manage day-to-day site activities, while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and technical precision.

Here are some of the activities you’ll be involved in:

• Carrying out setting out and other engineering activities as directed by the Site Manager.
• Checking Inspection Test Plans and ensuring site installations meet specifications.
• Monitoring quality control procedures and maintaining accurate records.
• Supporting the Site Manager in resolving technical challenges and promoting safe working practices in line with Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental standards.
• Ensuring all equipment is correctly calibrated, maintained, and compliant.
• Providing input into construction programmes and project planning.
• Supporting progress reporting, material reconciliation, and KPI updates.
• Contributing to continual improvement of site operations and sharing best practice.
• Applying experience in CDM and making engineering decisions and judgements on design and safe operation of site activities.

We’d love to hear from you if…

You have a strong background in civil engineering and a proactive, solutions-focused approach to your work. You’ll bring solid technical knowledge, strong organisational skills, and the confidence to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders at all levels.

You’ll ideally hold a degree or apprenticeship in civil engineering (or equivalent) and have hands‑on experience in setting out, surveying, and interpreting drawings. You’ll also be comfortable producing inspection and test plans, risk assessments, and method statements, ensuring that all work is carried out safely and to specification.

A good understanding of health and safety practices, quality control, and commercial awareness will be key to your success in this role, as will competence in CAD and general IT systems. Experience working on large civil engineering or utilities projects would be highly advantageous, along with developed knowledge of client quality standards and commercial processes.

You’ll take pride in your work, demonstrate a collaborative attitude, and lead by example in maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and professionalism. A full and valid UK driving licence is essential for this role, and holding a current CSCS card would be an advantage.
