Calling Site Engineers who'd rather be on site than behind a desk.

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Site Engineer / Setting Out Engineer to join a brand-new civil engineering project in the Scottish Borders.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys being out on site, taking ownership of setting out and playing a key role in the successful delivery of the works. You'll be joining an established and well-respected contractor on an interesting project, with the opportunity to remain on the job through Christmas and potentially beyond.

The Role

As Site Engineer, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day engineering and setting out requirements on site, working closely with the Site Manager and wider project team to ensure works are delivered accurately and to specification.

Your responsibilities will include:

Setting out roads, drainage and associated civil engineering works

Providing accurate levels, lines and measurements for construction activities

Checking works against drawings, specifications and design requirements

Working closely with site management, subcontractors and engineering teams

Identifying and resolving technical issues on site

Carrying out quality checks and maintaining accurate site records

Supporting the wider project team with engineering and technical requirements

Ensuring works are completed safely, accurately and in line with programme requirements

About You

We're looking for an experienced Site Engineer or Setting Out Engineer with a strong background in civil engineering. You'll need to be confident working independently on site, reading and interpreting engineering drawings, and setting out roads and drainage.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to get stuck into a substantial project rather than sit behind a desk.

4-month contract with potential to extend
