Site Engineer
Immediate Start | Civil Engineering Project | South East Scotland

Are you a Site Engineer looking for your next challenge on a busy civil engineering project with work secured through autumn?

We're currently seeking a hands-on Site Engineer to join an established site team delivering a varied package of infrastructure and public realm works on a well-funded development in Central Scotland.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys a mix of setting out, surveying, and working closely with site operations to keep projects moving efficiently.

The Role

You will be involved in a range of ongoing civil engineering activities including:

Setting out and surveying works
Infrastructure and utility installations
Road and access improvements
Footpath and public realm construction
Earthworks close-out activities
Measurement and volume calculations
Supporting site teams with technical information and quality assurance

The bulk earthworks phase is now complete, meaning the remaining works are straightforward and well planned, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys seeing projects through to completion.

What We're Looking For

Previous experience working as a Site Engineer on civil engineering projects
Strong setting out skills
Proficiency with GPS and robotic total stations
Ability to carry out surveys and produce accurate records
Experience with cut/fill calculations, stockpile measurements, or volume surveys would be advantageous
Self-motivated and capable of working with minimal supervision

What's on Offer?

Immediate start available
Work secured through to late October
Competitive day rate/package
Supportive and experienced project team
Opportunity to join a reputable contractor with ongoing project pipeline

This position is moving quickly, and our client is keen to get the right individual on site as soon as possible.
