Your new role would be to read and interpret drawings, use instruments and site engineering principles to set out the line, level, and dimensions of the structures from the datum points prior to excavation and construction of the foundations. You will be required to work on several small jobs where your engineering input is required or be based on a larger job for a consistent period based on the demands set by the customer and the scope of work. The location of the jobs is spread across Sussex and Surrey, and they serve the highways, water utility and regional building markets for private clients. You will need to attend the site for daily briefings, regular reporting, advise on risk assessments, method statements and support the number one on site.
The scope of works would include temporary works, traffic management, identifying underfloor services, breaking out of concrete, laying of kerbs, footpaths and re-instatement works, as well as the construction of reinforced concrete structures such as bridges and embankments.
What you'll need to succeed is a proven history within the civil engineering and ground works industry as a Site Engineer or Project Engineer within the UK highways, water utility or infrastructure sector. You will hold a civil engineering qualification from a UK college or university, CSCS, have excellent communication skills and be IT literate. This is a permanent PAYE vacancy, so we are looking for a candidate with a stable work history rather than a self-employed CIS subcontractor. Candidates with multiple agency assignments on their CV need not apply. Candidates with overseas experience need not apply and candidates that have recently graduated need not apply. There is no relocation allowance, and the successful candidate would ideally be in the Mid-Sussex area.
What you'll get in return is a permanent offer of employment of £35-50k for a Site Engineer and £50-60k for a Project Engineer. A vehicle is on offer for a more senior candidate: either a commercial van or an uplift to their salary as a contribution to their private car costs. Paid mileage, 35 days' holiday, pension, corporate benefits, and a supportive organisational commitment to your professional development.
