• Interface with client and wider project stakeholders

• Ensure materials and sequencing are proactively managed

Requirements

• Proven experience in a Senior Engineer or Section Engineer role

• Strong civils/infrastructure background, ideally including superstructure

• Confident leading and directing site teams

• Ability to manage quality, documentation, and client relations

• Familiarity with Lyca instruments desirable

• SMSTS/SSSTS, CSCS, and relevant engineering qualifications

What’s On Offer

• Salary up to £85,000, depending on experience

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Strong pipeline of future work with a leading contractor

• Opportunity to shape delivery on a high-profile project
