Join a leader in the civil engineering sector. With an impressive turnover of 180m , my client is renowned for taking on the UK's most challenging and high-stakes infrastructure projects. They're a team of innovators and problem-solvers, dedicated to delivering excellence in heavy civils , water treatment , and specialist projects like shaft sinking .

• Setting Out and Surveying: Precisely interpreting and transferring design information onto the site using state-of-the-art surveying equipment (e.g., GPS, Total Stations). You'll be the go-to person for all site setting out.

• Quality Control & Assurance: Conducting rigorous checks of all work to ensure it aligns with design specifications and quality standards. This includes concrete pours, steelwork, and earthworks.

• Technical Problem-Solving: Acting as the first line of defense for any technical issues that arise on site. You'll work closely with the design team and subcontractors to find practical, efficient solutions.

• Education: A degree or HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or a related discipline is required.

• Skills: You should be an expert in using surveying equipment, reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings, and have a good understanding of construction methodologies. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively under pressure are also crucial.
