The Site Engineer will support works from preparation through to completion, including setting out, permitting, inspection, quality evidence, as-built records, material reconciliation and handover information. The role is not limited to one discipline. The requirement is for a building or civil engineering Site Engineer who can read drawings, understand specifications, set out the works, support safe delivery,

record progress and raise technical, quality or constructability issues early.

The Site Engineer will work with supervisors, subcontractors, survey teams, temporary works, quality, planning, commercial and engineering teams to keep the works safe, accurate and properly recorded.
