• Technical Interface: Review engineering drawings, raise technical queries (RFIs), and work closely with senior engineering and project management teams to resolve buildability challenges.
• Safety & Environment: Drive high standards of site safety, contributing to Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) and maintaining accurate daily site diaries.

Candidate Profile

• Experience: Proven track record working as a Site Engineer within major civil engineering, structural modifications, or regulated industrial/energy environments.
• Technical Skills: Proficient with modern robotic total stations (Leica, Trimble, etc.), GPS equipment, and CAD/digital engineering tools.
• Education & Certifications:
• HNC/HND or BEng in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline.
• Valid CSCS card (Engineering / Supervisory).
• SMSTS or SSSTS preferred.
• Clearances: Due to the regulated nature of the facility, candidates must be eligible to obtain baseline security clearance (BPSS) or hold existing site clearance.
