Summary

Site Engineer – Civil Engineering
Noriwch
Permanent

£50-£55k + package

I’m currently working in partnership with one of the UK’s fastest-growing civil engineering contractors to recruit a Site Engineer to join their expanding delivery team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that genuinely combines ambition with employee satisfaction. They’ve built a reputation not only for delivering high-quality infrastructure projects, but for fostering a supportive, people-first culture where careers are developed with intent and long-term progression is actively encouraged.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll be trusted, supported, and given clear pathways to advance — this could be exactly what you’re after.

The Opportunity

As Site Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting the successful delivery of civil engineering projects. Working closely with the site team, you’ll ensure works are set out accurately, safely, and in line with programme and specification, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

This position would suit someone who thrives in a collaborative environment but is equally comfortable taking ownership of their responsibilities on site.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build strong working relationships with engineers, supervisors and subcontractors.


  • Provide and maintain accurate setting out and dimensional control.


  • Verify setting-out points, benchmarks and equipment calibration.


  • Implement and manage Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).


  • Record workmanship and materials across drainage, concrete, piling, foundations and associated works.


  • Support daily planning, programming and coordination of site activities.


  • Champion health, safety, environmental and quality standards.


  • Ensure works are delivered in accordance with drawings and specifications.


  • Maintain accurate survey data, site records and reports to support commercial and delivery functions.


  • Take a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.


    Essential Experience & Skills

    • Proven experience setting out on civil engineering projects.


    • Strong background in quality control and implementation of ITPs.


    • Solid technical knowledge of construction methods and engineering standards.


    • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage across all levels of site delivery.


    • Proficient in Microsoft Office and AutoCAD.


    • Valid CSCS card.


    • Willingness to travel across East Anglia.
