Senior Site Engineer

The Senior Site Engineer plays a key role in supporting the construction management team in delivering high-quality building projects on site. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be central to ensuring works are executed accurately, safely, and to the highest standards from groundwork through to completion.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead and support setting out engineers on site, ensuring accuracy and efficiency across all works
  • Verify shuttering, reinforcement, and dimensional accuracy prior to concrete pours
  • Maintain and manage materials reconciliation and site records
  • Review drawings and plans to ensure all works are correctly interpreted and delivered
  • Work closely with subcontractors, consultants, and project teams to keep delivery on track
  • Drive high standards of quality control across all site activities
  • Promote and enforce strong health & safety compliance at all times

What we’re looking for

  • Degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
  • Minimum 4+ years’ experience as a Site Engineer with a main contractor
  • Strong hands-on experience with setting out equipment (total station, GPS, laser levels)
  • Solid understanding of temporary works coordination
  • Excellent attention to detail with the ability to work independently and take ownership on site
  • Practical, reliable, and confident working in a fast-paced construction environment

What’s on offer

This is more than just a site engineering role — it’s a chance to step into a position with real responsibility, visibility, and long-term progression.

  • Competitive salary package with car allowance
  • Pension scheme and professional subscriptions fully supported
  • Strong pipeline of projects and long-term stability
  • Clear opportunities to progress into Senior Engineer / Site Management roles
  • Exposure to large-scale, high-quality developments where your work genuinely matters

Culture & Opportunity

You’ll be joining a team that values precision, accountability, and doing things properly on site. High standards are expected — but so is backing, support, and real career progression for people who deliver.

We believe in building strong teams where good engineers become great leaders.
