Site Engineer required for an immediate start – up to 12-month contract
The Project
The UK’s largest infrastructure project undoubtedly throws up some major ecological challenges which must be mitigated to ensure the successful delivery of HS2. This can range from river restorations, river re-alignments, floodplain reconnections, habitat creation and fish passes.
My client is a rapidly expanding environmental construction company with a vast amount of experience in all aspects of environmental consulting and management works. This client has a large amount of work with HS2 to help them successfully manage the environmental impact of the project.
The Role – Site Engineer
As Site Engineer you will be joining a well-established team to help deliver environmental mitigation works on one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects. My client has secured three projects with one of the joint venture partners that are responsible for delivering the HS2 enabling works and they are due to start the first project imminently. The first project will be an ancient woodland relocation and works will typically include installation of a temporary bridge structure along with hull roads to gain access to the site. The Site Engineer will be responsible for surveying and setting out of levels, maintaining a safe system of work, assisting with supervision, maintaining QA documentation and associated administration of works.
The ideal Site Engineer will come from a civil engineering background with extensive infrastructure experience. Having experience from an environmental project will be a distinct advantage, however, my client is keen to see applications from candidates that have worked within the water sector, on flood alleviation projects or other associated civil engineering projects such as Rail or Highways.
