The Role
This position will involve providing engineering support across a number of ongoing projects.

Groundworks
External works
Infrastructure projects
Trunk road works
Sports facility construction
Housing developments
Utilities and major framework projects
The projects are varied but generally consist of straightforward civil engineering works, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working across multiple sectors.

Maintaining quality assurance records
Ensuring work is delivered in accordance with drawings and specifications
Producing as-built information where required

Strong setting-out capability
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings
Experience using GPS and robotic total stations
QA/QC experience
Strong record-keeping and documentation skills
Experience working across a range of civil engineering projects
Valid CSCS card

What's on Offer? 

Immediate start available
Long-term freelance contract
Work secured through to Spring 2027
Company van provided
Accommodation available for the right individual
Varied project portfolio
Opportunity to join a busy and expanding team
