The Opportunity

Walker & Sloan are recruiting for an experienced Site Engineer to join an established civil engineering contractor delivering water infrastructure projects across the Wessex region.

The position will involve working on upgrades and improvements to existing water treatment facilities, supporting the delivery of technically challenging civil engineering works across Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Site Engineer with a background in civil engineering, groundworks or infrastructure to develop their experience within the water sector.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing technical engineering support across construction projects, ensuring works are accurately set out, properly documented and completed in accordance with approved designs and specifications.

You will undertake setting-out activities using surveying equipment, establish and maintain site control, interpret engineering drawings and ensure the accuracy of construction works.

The role will involve producing and maintaining quality assurance documentation, including Inspection and Test Plans, as-built records, survey information and relevant site reports.

You will work closely with Site Agents, supervisors and subcontractors to coordinate engineering activities, resolve technical queries and ensure construction works progress in line with programme requirements.

About You

You will have previous experience working as a Site Engineer or Setting Out Engineer within civil engineering, infrastructure or groundworks.

Experience working on water or wastewater treatment facilities would be particularly advantageous, although candidates with strong general civils experience will also be considered.

You should be confident using surveying equipment such as total stations and GPS systems, interpreting construction drawings and producing accurate setting-out and as-built information.

A good understanding of QA procedures, ITPs, construction specifications and site safety requirements is important.
