The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer-to support the successful delivery of complex heavy marine civil engineering projects.

You will take technical ownership of site engineering activities across works such as quay walls, jetties, ports, coastal structures, piling, reinforced concrete, cofferdams and heavy temporary works. Working closely with the Project Manager, site teams, designers and specialist subcontractors, you will ensure that construction is delivered safely, accurately and in accordance with programme and specification.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and mentor the-engineering team for marine and heavy civil works.
• Interpret drawings, specifications and design information, resolving technical issues before they affect construction.
• Prepare and review method statements, risk assessments, inspection and test plans, permits and temporary-works documentation.
• Coordinate piling, reinforced concrete, earthworks, drainage, marine structures and associated subcontract packages.
• Manage quality assurance records, including check sheets, test results, as-built surveys and handover documentation.
• Monitor progress against programme and provide accurate engineering and productivity updates.
• Raise and manage RFIs, technical queries, non-conformance reports and design changes.
• Check subcontractor works and ensure compliance with approved designs, tolerances and specifications.
• Support procurement by reviewing quantities, materials, technical submissions and lead times.
• Work closely with marine operations, lifting teams and temporary-works personnel.
• Champion health, safety and environmental performance throughout delivery.

About You

You will have:

• A degree, HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in-Civil Engineering-or a related discipline.
• Significant site engineering experience within heavy civil engineering, preferably on marine or coastal projects.
• Experience with relevant works such as piling, quay walls, jetties, cofferdams, reinforced concrete, retaining structures or heavy temporary works.
• A sound understanding of construction tolerances, quality assurance and temporary-works procedures.
