Project Overview
We are seeking a competent Highways Site Engineer to handle the setting out, engineering control, and quality assurance for a major highway scheme in Suffolk. This is a secure, ultra-long-term contract package offering 80 weeks of continuous work focusing heavily on deep drainage networks and structural concrete elements.
You will be the primary technical presence on the ground for your section, ensuring all civil engineering works are executed precisely to National Highways specifications, design drawings, and strict tolerances.
Key Responsibilities
- Setting Out: Provide accurate engineering control and setting out for heavy highway infrastructure, specifically deep drainage, attenuation tanks, culverts, and structural concrete/retaining elements.

- Technical Interface: Read and interpret complex highway drawings, structural schedules, and digital models. Identify design discrepancies early and raise clear RFIs to the design team.
- Site Coordination: Work collaboratively with the Highways Works Manager, Section Foreman, and groundworks gangs to ensure smooth production and prevent delays on the critical path.
