Site Engineer / Senior Engineer

Site Engineer / Senior Engineer required for a growing civil engineering and construction contractor delivering a range of infrastructure and building projects across North East Scotland. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Engineer to join a well-established team working on technically challenging schemes, including substations, steel-framed buildings, and other major construction projects.

The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining engineering excellence on site, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. This position would particularly suit candidates based in North East Scotland or those willing to travel extensively throughout the region.

Site Engineer / Senior Engineer Position Overview

  • Interpret, review, and challenge construction drawings to ensure compliance with project requirements and specifications.
  • Raise and manage technical queries, working closely with project teams to resolve engineering issues.
  • Support the implementation and completion of Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), ensuring quality standards are maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Produce accurate material take-offs to assist with procurement planning and resource management.
  • Complete detailed as-built surveys and maintain comprehensive site records for quality assurance and project handover documentation.
  • Liaise with designers, subcontractors, site teams, and project managers to ensure effective project coordination.

  • Monitor construction works to ensure adherence to design specifications, tolerances, and industry standards.

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.
