Construction Project Engineer
Leighton Buzzard
Permanent, Full Time
Are you looking to step away from constant site-to-site travel and join a business where you can see projects through from concept to completion?
Initivo offers a rare opportunity for a Construction Project Engineer to join its specialist testing facility in Leighton Buzzard. Working from a permanent 15-acre site, you'll play a key role in delivering construction and façade testing projects that support some of the UK's most prestigious infrastructure developments and blue-chip clients.
This is not a typical construction role. You'll gain exposure to engineering, project management, commercial activities, planning, technical reporting, and site operations, making it an excellent opportunity for ambitious construction professionals looking to broaden their experience and accelerate their career.
Why Join Initivo?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business in a role that offers a diverse workload, a stable working environment, and strong work-life balance. Based predominantly at Initivo's dedicated testing facility in Leighton Buzzard, you'll avoid the need for extensive travel and benefit from a consistent working location.
