Pettigrew Recruitment Group is working with a respected privately owned Scottish housebuilder to recruit an Engineer / Senior Engineer for their technical team in Stirling.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Engineer or Senior Engineer to join a well-established business and play an important role in the technical delivery of residential developments across Scotland.

The company is open minded regarding the level of appointment and will consider candidates from a range of backgrounds. This could suit an established Senior Engineer, an Engineer ready to take the next step in their career, or someone working within a civil engineering consultancy who is keen to move into the housebuilding sector.

The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues across technical, land, commercial, construction and sales, helping to ensure developments are technically robust, commercially viable and delivered efficiently.

The Role:

As Engineer / Senior Engineer, you will support the technical delivery of residential developments from the early design and planning stages through to construction and completion.

Key Responsibilities:

• Managing civil engineering and infrastructure requirements across residential developments.
• Reviewing and coordinating roads, drainage, utilities and external works designs.
• Working with external engineering consultants and specialist designers.
• Reviewing technical drawings, reports and specifications.
• Identifying engineering risks and helping to develop practical solutions.
• Supporting the preparation and submission of technical approvals.
• Liaising with local authorities, utility providers, statutory bodies and external consultants.
• Coordinating technical information with construction and commercial teams.
• Monitoring consultant performance, programme requirements and design deliverables.
• Supporting tendering and procurement activity where required.
• Attending design, project and site meetings.
• Responding to technical queries during the construction phase.
• Ensuring designs are practical, compliant and commercially appropriate.
• Supporting junior members of the technical team where applicable.
