Project Scheduling: Scrutinize and undertake detailed scheduling and programming of site activities in conjunction with subcontractors and the wider site team.
Risk Management: Work closely with the site team to identify delivery opportunities and risks, helping to maintain the project Risk Register.
Workforce Education: Support the training and development of subcontractors, site supervisors, and the wider workforce regarding site rules and emergency procedures.
Handover Documentation: Ensure all necessary project and quality documentation is produced, collated, and completed seamlessly for final handover.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: 0-2+ years of site engineering experience with a developing knowledge of construction techniques.
Qualifications: Degree, HNC, or HND in Civil Engineering (or equivalent vocational experience), alongside valid CSCS and SMSTS or IOSH certifications.
Technical Skills: Proficient IT skills, including basic AutoCad and MS Office.
Soft Skills: An engaging, adaptable communicator who can build strong stakeholder relationships and handle rapid changes on-site.Desirable (Highly Valued):

Experience with BIM/Digital software (Autodesk/Bentley) and scheduling tools (Aphex, Primavera P6).
Knowledge of construction contract law (specifically NEC forms of contract).
Prior experience working within highly regulated environments (e.g., Nuclear, defense, or marine infrastructure).
