Strategic Planning
A leading civil engineering contractor is seeking a strong Site Engineer with either a tier 2 contracting background or experience within a self‑delivery environment. This role suits someone who thrives in a hands‑on, delivery‑focused setting and brings structure, technical capability and pace to complex civil engineering works.
You'll be joining a business that delivers major infrastructure schemes through disciplined planning, robust engineering and a culture built around accountability. If you have experience in FRC, scour protection, or MSP, that will be a clear advantage.
The Role
You will support day‑to‑day delivery across a range of civil engineering packages, ensuring works are set out accurately, executed safely and aligned with programme and specification. Working closely with Agents, Project Engineers and commercial teams, you'll help maintain progress, manage change on the ground and uphold high standards of documentation and quality.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
