Asset Progress Assessment Team - Civil Infrastructure Programme (Site-Based - Travel Required) Initial 6 Week Engagement - immediate starts.
Pigment Consulting is supporting a major national infrastructure programme requiring rapid, independent validation of construction progress across a large and complex asset base. With delivery timelines tightening, there is a need for a high-calibre independent assessment to provide an objective view of progress, quality, and delivery against plan across a large number of assets.
We are mobilising a multi-level civil engineering team to undertake on-site asset inspections and progress validation across multiple locations. You will form part of a specialist Asset Progress Assessment Team, conducting structured site-based reviews of construction works. Working alongside construction assurance teams, you will:

- Determine quality and completeness of works against defined criteria
- Undertake site inspections across assets such as bridges, earthworks, culverts, and tunnels
- Apply engineering judgement alongside structured assessment frameworks
- Capture findings using standardised reporting tools
Assessments will involve clustered site visits, typically reviewing 30-50 assets per area, supported by existing data, criteria, and (in some cases) drone footage.
We are across multiple grades comprising:
- Senior Managers - Chartered Civil Engineers / Surveyors
- Mid-Level Engineers 3-5 years' experience
- Engineers 1-2 years' experience
All roles will contribute to on-site inspections, assessment, and reporting, with senior oversight ensuring consistency and quality of outputs.

- Background in civil engineering, construction, or infrastructure delivery
- Experience across assets such as bridges, earthworks, culverts, or similar
- Familiarity with site-based inspection, assurance, or progress tracking
- Ability to operate in fast-paced, high-volume environments
For Senior Roles:

To apply you'll:
