A well-established and highly regarded main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Site Engineer to support its growing portfolio of live construction schemes across the South West.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to take on a more technical and quality-focused role, providing support across multiple projects and playing a key part in ensuring works are delivered in accordance with design criteria, specifications and client requirements.

The successful candidate will work closely with project and operational teams, providing technical engineering support, managing temporary works, overseeing quality assurance and quality control, and ensuring compliance throughout the construction process.

While this isn't a traditional setting-out focused role, the contractor is looking for someone who is comfortable with the practical engineering aspects of site delivery, including checking levels and lines, and who can bring broader engineering knowledge, technical judgement and quality experience to the business.

Projects are typically delivered across sectors including Education, Healthcare, Industrial, Commercial and Leisure, with values generally up to £20m. Experience working on complex infrastructure schemes, including projects involving live services, would be highly relevant.

The role will involve:

Providing technical engineering support across live construction schemes.

Managing and coordinating temporary works requirements.

Ensuring works are delivered in accordance with design criteria, specifications and client requirements.

Carrying out quality assurance and quality control checks.

Managing ITPs, inspections, testing and quality documentation.

Identifying and managing non-conformances.

Supporting subcontractors and site teams with technical issues.

Working closely with designers to resolve technical queries.

Supporting wider project and pre-construction activities where required.

We are looking for:

Previous experience working on complex construction or infrastructure projects, where technical compliance, quality and engineering judgement are essential.

Experience with temporary works, quality assurance and technical compliance.

The ability to accurately check levels, lines, dimensions and positions on site in accordance with drawings and specifications.

Experience using relevant surveying and setting-out equipment.
