East Anglia

Permanent salary + benefits package

This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest-growing contractors as a Site Engineer. This role is ideal if you’re looking to work in a supportive but ambitious environment with clear career progression and proactive employee engagement.

Job Purpose

As a Site Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting the site delivery team, ensuring works are set out accurately, safely, and to the highest quality standards. You’ll monitor progress, test workmanship, and help drive continuous improvement so that each project is delivered on time, within budget, and to specification.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build strong working relationships with engineers, supervisors, and subcontractors.
  • Provide and maintain setting out and dimensional control to ensure accurate construction.
  • Check setting-out points, benchmarks, and equipment calibration to ensure compliance.
  • Implement test and inspection plans (ITPs) and record workmanship and materials (e.g. drainage, concrete, piling, foundations).
  • Support the team in planning, programming, and coordinating daily site operations.
  • Contribute to achieving the highest standards of health, safety, environmental, and quality performance.
  • Ensure that works are properly resourced, supervised, and carried out in line with drawings and specifications.
  • Take a proactive approach to problem-solving and drive continuous improvement in methods and delivery.
  • Maintain accurate records, survey data, and reports to support commercial and delivery teams.

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.
