This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing organisation at the forefront of telecoms and civil engineering works, where safety, quality, and performance are at the heart of everything we do.

As a Civils Supervisor, you will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day site operations and ensuring that all works are delivered safely, on time, and to the required standards.

The role requires a balance of site presence and administrative oversight, ensuring that records, reporting, and compliance requirements are consistently maintained.

You will be proactive in identifying and resolving issues on site, managing changing priorities effectively, and keeping stakeholders informed through clear and accurate communication. A high level of organisation will be essential, as you will be responsible for maintaining records, reporting on progress, and ensuring that all project documentation is accurate and up to date. Flexibility is important, as the role will involve working across multiple sites and adapting to the needs of the project.

You will bring proven experience in a civils or utilities supervisory role, with a strong understanding of construction processes, particularly within fibre or telecoms infrastructure works.
