Contracts Engineer

Civil Engineering

Warrington

£38,000 - £49,000 (DOE)

Are you ready to take your engineering career to the next level? We are looking for an experienced Contracts Engineer to join a dynamic team delivering structural repair, strengthening, and maintenance projects across a range of critical infrastructure.

This role offers the opportunity to work on challenging engineering schemes, helping to extend the life of essential assets through innovative and sustainable solutions. You'll collaborate with experienced professionals, lead project delivery, and contribute to projects that have a lasting impact.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Contracts Engineer, you'll play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading site teams and coordinating subcontractors to deliver works safely, on time, and within budget.
  • Ensuring construction activities are carried out in accordance with drawings, specifications, and project requirements.
  • Managing site setting out and maintaining dimensional accuracy throughout project delivery.
  • Preparing, reviewing, and implementing method statements and safe systems of work.
  • Producing and maintaining essential project documentation, including Project Management Plans (PMP), Inspection and Test Plans (ITP), Construction Phase Plans, and associated records.
  • Developing, monitoring, and updating project programmes to track progress and productivity.
  • Promoting a positive Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality culture across all site activities.
  • Supporting effective communication between clients, site teams, and project stakeholders.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
