Site Engineer / Site Manager

Contract Length: Long-term contract
Hours: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Monday to Friday)
About The Role
On behalf of a leading main contractor, we are looking for a Site Engineer for a £55m school rebuild. This is a 3-year masterplan project offering long-term stability in the freelance market.
The role is uniquely split as the project progresses. For the first few months, you will hit the ground running on engineering (surveying, QA, setting out, and civils/utilities). As the build develops, you will move into managing the build alongside the existing delivery team.
Because this is a live school environment, works will ramp up during off-peak holiday periods, requiring someone adaptable and highly organized.
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.
What We Need
Background:
- Strong civil engineering background with experience in setting out, gridlines, and temporary works.
- Experience with steel frame structures and civils is highly advantageous.
Kit:
- You must have your own kit for this role (rates can be negotiated to reflect this).
Tickets:
- CSCS and SMSTS are 100% essential.
- First Aid and a DBS check are highly desirable due to the live school environment.
Why Apply?
This is a brilliant opportunity to secure a 3-year contract with a top-tier contractor, offering a seamless step up from technical engineering into full site management.
