Oversee a Flagship £20 Million Drainage Package on a Landmark UK Project.

This is a unique opportunity to join a respected civils contractor delivering a major £20 million drainage package on one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure programmes.

You won’t be on the tools — this role focuses on engineering oversight, quality assurance, and managing a specialist subcontractor responsible for delivering the drainage works. It’s perfect for a Site Engineer who enjoys taking ownership, ensuring compliance, and driving high standards across a complex civils package.

This project offers long‑term stability, progression, and exposure to a nationally significant programme with a multi‑year pipeline.

Your Role

As the Site Engineer for this drainage package, you will:

• Oversee the delivery of a specialist drainage subcontractor
• Ensure setting out is accurate and aligned with programme & design requirements
• Review, check, and approve the subcontractor’s setting out and as‑built information
• Manage daily quality control, ITPs, inspections, and compliance documentation
• Coordinate with the Project Manager, Design Team, and Senior Engineer
• Ensure drainage installations meet specification—including manholes, chambers, deep drainage, and outfalls
• Support progress tracking, recording, and reporting
• Uphold safety, quality, and engineering excellence across the package

This is a role with genuine responsibility, ideal for engineers looking to step toward Senior Engineer or Section Engineer positions.

• Experience as a Site Engineer within infrastructure or highways civils
• Strong drainage background (foul, surface water, deep drainage, manholes, chambers)
• Experience working alongside or overseeing subcontractors
• Good understanding of QA processes and ITP management
• Confident using GPS, TS, and digital reporting tools
• Full UK driving licence

• £21,530 annual lodge allowance
• £5,000 car allowance
• Up to 8% pension
• Private healthcare
