Are you ready to take the next step in your civil engineering career?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Engineer to join a well-established and ambitious civil engineering contractor delivering major infrastructure projects across Scotland.

With the business continuing to expand its presence across the Scottish infrastructure market, there is genuine scope for long-term career development and progression.
