The Opportunity
We are currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Engineer / Site Agent to join a major civil engineering project delivering a technically challenging package of earthworks and reinforced concrete construction. This is an excellent opportunity to work on a high-profile infrastructure scheme, taking ownership of a critical section of the project from planning through to completion.
The Role
Reporting to the Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of a complex package involving the backfilling around and over reinforced concrete frame structures. Due to the nature of the works, this is a high-risk operation requiring an individual with a strong engineering background, excellent leadership skills, and proven experience delivering major earthworks and heavy civils projects.
The successful candidate will initially be involved in a short pre-construction phase, developing construction methodologies, sequencing, temporary works requirements and delivery programmes before taking full responsibility for the on-site execution of the works.
