Job description

Site / Project Engineer

Location: Devon

Project: Major Construction Project

Contract: Project-based / Contract

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

NEOS Engineering are working with a major engineering and construction project in Devon, currently moving into the final stages of construction, completion and handover.

We are looking for an experienced Engineer from a site-based engineering or construction background to join the project team and help drive the works through to completion.

This is a hands-on position, with the majority of the role being site-based, working closely with the Site Manager, engineering team, contractors and wider project team to make sure works are completed, inspected and properly documented.

The project is now at an important stage, with multiple buildings and areas of the development progressing towards final completion, handover and commissioning.

The Role

You'll play a key role in keeping the final stages of the project moving, with responsibilities covering site engineering, quality, inspections, ITPs, snagging and project documentation.

The role will involve:

• Supporting the delivery and completion of works across site.
• Managing and completing Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).
• Carrying out site inspections and recording completed works.
• Identifying, tracking and closing out snagging and outstanding works.
• Working closely with the Site Manager and contractors to keep completion activities moving.
• Ensuring works are completed to the required quality and project standards.
• Maintaining accurate project and quality documentation.
• Using tablets/iPads to record inspections, take photographs and update site records.
• Supporting the handover and completion of the project.
• Working alongside the Clerk of Works and wider engineering team.
• Chasing outstanding information and documentation from contractors and site teams.
• Supporting the project through its final stages and into commissioning.

About You

We're open to engineers from a range of backgrounds. You don't necessarily need to have held the title of Section Engineer or Completion Engineer previously.

This could suit someone currently working as a:

• Site Engineer
• Section Engineer
• Project Engineer
• Construction Engineer
• QA/QC Engineer
• Quality Engineer
• Site Quality Engineer
• Civil Engineer
• Mechanical Engineer
• Works Engineer

We're particularly interested in engineers who have experience working on live construction or engineering projects and are comfortable combining hands-on site work with documentation and administration.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous site-based engineering or construction experience.
• Experience with ITPs, inspections, QA/QC or quality documentation.
• Strong organisational and attention-to-detail skills.
• Good IT skills, particularly Excel and general documentation.
• The confidence to work with contractors and site teams.
• A practical approach and willingness to get out on site rather than being purely office-based.
• Experience with tablets/iPads and digital site reporting would be beneficial.
• CAD experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a major project during its final construction, completion and handover phase, gaining exposure across site engineering, quality, project documentation and commissioning.

For an engineer looking to broaden their experience and progress towards Site Management or wider Project Management, the role offers the opportunity to work closely with the senior site team and take real ownership of getting the project over the line
