The Role
A Tier One highways contractor is looking for a Site Engineer or Surveying Site Engineer to join their team on the A66. This is a hands-on, site-based role suited to someone with a strong earthworks background who is confident with survey work and volume take-offs.
The A66 programme is delivering 25 miles of new dual carriageway across a 7-10 year programme, and this role sits within Scheme 3B, covering earthworks and drainage. While volumes on this section aren't huge, the work is shaped by traffic management and logistics constraints, giving roughly three years of activity on this phase alone.
