Technical Engineer
Location: Devon
Industry: Construction
A well-established and highly regarded main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Technical Engineer to support its growing portfolio of live construction schemes across the Southwest.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to take on a more technical and quality-focused role, providing support across multiple projects and playing a key part in ensuring works are delivered in accordance with design criteria, specifications, and client requirements.
The successful candidate will work closely with project and operational teams, providing technical engineering support, managing temporary works, overseeing quality assurance and quality control, and ensuring compliance throughout the construction process.
This is not a traditional setting-out role. The contractor is looking for someone who can bring broader engineering knowledge, technical judgement, and quality experience to the business, with the opportunity to make a real impact across a number of live schemes.
