The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Site Engineer looking to take the next major step in your career with a UK industry leader?

We are recruiting on behalf of a premier tier-1 construction and infrastructure contractor. Known for delivering landmark civil engineering, highways, and major public realm projects across the UK, they are looking for a top-tier Site Engineer to join their thriving Southern team based out of Chandlers Ford.

This is a brilliant chance to break away from short-term contracts or stagnant roles and secure a position with a business boasting a massive, multi-year pipeline of local work, exceptional financial rewards, and an industry-leading commitment to professional development.

What You'll Do

Operating across diverse, high-value civil engineering and infrastructure schemes in the region, you will be the technical anchor on-site. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Setting Out & Surveying: Establishing accurate control points and setting out complex works using modern EDMs, Total Stations, and GPS equipment.

• Quality Assurance: Managing strict quality control on-site, including maintaining comprehensive QA records, managing RFI (Request for Information) processes, and resolving complex technical queries.

• Site Supervision & Leadership: Collaborating closely with the Sub Agent and Site Manager to oversee subcontractors, ensuring works align perfectly with design drawings and specifications.

• Health & Safety: Promoting a rigorous zero-harm culture on-site, ensuring all engineering activities comply with strict H&S regulations.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualifications: A Degree or HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or a closely related construction discipline.

• Technical Expertise: Proven experience setting out on civil engineering or major infrastructure projects (e.g., groundworks, heavy RC structures, complex drainage, or highways).

• Equipment Skills: Fully competent in using modern robotic surveying equipment and AutoCAD software.

• Certifications: Valid CSCS card is essential. SMSTS/SSSTS and First Aid are highly desirable.

• Mobility: A full UK driving license is required, as you will be traveling to sites across the regional patch.

• Company car or a generous monthly car allowance.

• Market-leading pension scheme and private healthcare.

• A structured pathway for career progression into management (with full financial support and mentorship toward ICE/chartership if desired).
