Calling Site Engineers who'd rather be on site than behind a desk.
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Site Engineer / Setting Out Engineer to join a brand-new civil engineering project in the Scottish Borders.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys being out on site, taking ownership of setting out and playing a key role in the successful delivery of the works. You'll be joining an established and well-respected contractor on an interesting project, with the opportunity to remain on the job through Christmas and potentially beyond.
The Role
As Site Engineer, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day engineering and setting out requirements on site, working closely with the Site Manager and wider project team to ensure works are delivered accurately and to specification.
