Excellent opening for a seasoned Project Engineer or an ambitious Senior Engineer looking to take the step up!
A major UK contractor is looking for a Project Engineer to support delivery on a large, complex project with significant steelwork and self‑delivered civils activities. This role sits just below the Project Manager and is ideal for someone who's organised, technically confident and able to keep design, planning and site teams working in sync.
The Role
You'll help manage the technical and coordination side of the project, making sure steelwork and civils activities are built safely, correctly and in line with the design. You'll work closely with the Project Manager, supporting them with planning, reporting and day‑to‑day problem‑solving. You'll be a key link between designers, subcontractors and site teams, helping keep the programme moving and resolving issues before they slow things down.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate drawings, technical information and specifications for steelwork and civils
- Work with site teams to make sure works are delivered safely, correctly and in the right sequence
- Manage RFIs, design queries and interface issues with designers and consultants
- Support temporary works processes, ensuring designs, permits and checks are in place
- Assist with short‑term planning, look‑ahead schedules and progress updates
- Maintain quality records, inspections and handover documentation
- Spot risks, clashes and constraints early and help develop practical solutions
- Keep communication clear between engineering, planning, commercial and delivery teams
- Support the Project Manager with coordination, reporting and general project control
