The quality of the setting out, checks and information on site can make the difference between keeping a major rail project moving and costly delays.

You’ll be working on a rail infrastructure project involving soil nails, earthworks and drainage, with accommodation provided and additional earning potential through overtime. Previous rail experience is required, and while a valid PTS would be advantageous, sponsorship can be provided if you don’t currently hold one.

  • Accommodation provided

  • Overtime available to increase your earnings

  • 6-month contract on a major rail infrastructure project

  • PTS sponsorship available for suitable candidates

  • Varied civil engineering works including soil nails, earthworks and drainage

Your responsibilities as Site Engineer
  • Carry out accurate setting out using EDM and GPS equipment

  • Complete QA documentation, RFIs and ITPs correctly and maintain appropriate project records

  • Read construction drawings, quantify materials and ensure works follow the latest approved information

  • Support site management with materials, KPIs, progress reporting and distribution of project information

  • Maintain an accurate daily site diary covering progress and construction activities

  • Identify potential site issues early and support practical solutions to keep works progressing

What we’re looking for in a Site Engineer
  • Previous experience working on rail and civil engineering projects

  • Experience of soil nails, earthworks and drainage works

  • Competence using EDM and GPS equipment for setting out

  • Strong understanding of drawings, material quantities, QA processes, RFIs and ITPs
