Real success is the success you share

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Site Engineer to lead multiple workfronts delivering complex ground engineering works. You’ll ensure safety, quality, programme and commercial performance, mentor junior engineers, and maintain strong client and stakeholder relationships.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical & Site Ops: Lead resource allocation for ground engineering works; resolve technical issues; drive close-out of non-conformities; assure ITPs/RAMS/permit compliance.
• Safety: Lead investigations and root-cause; provide visible safety leadership; trend recurring issues.
• Site Briefings: Set/approve briefing content across fronts; deliver client/stakeholder briefings; audit briefing quality/records.
• Procurement: Define workface procurement plans; hire vs buy decisions; manage subcontractor performance/variations.
• Quality: Own QA plan for D-Wall/soil mixing scope; ensure ITP coverage/hold points; close NCRs; data-driven QA reporting; meet client/third-party hold points.
• Productivity: Benchmark/analyse rates for wall panels and soil mixing; remove systemic constraints; lead weekly productivity reviews; track outcomes.

Tasks may flex up/down or across teams (operations, technical, commercial, procurement, quality, safety, logistics, etc.) depending on project needs; maintain a proactive, solution-focused attitude. Works may occasionally require weekend or night shifts, so a rotation system may be expected in line with project requirements.
