Site Engineer – Piling (Short-Term Contract)
Location: Birmingham (Aston Villa Stadium)
Rate: £300 per day ltd 
Duration: Mid-June start | 5–6 weeks initially (with return phase Sept–Oct)

Carmichael UK are recruiting for an experienced Site Engineer to support a piling contractor delivering foundation works for the North Stand extension at Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham.

This is a short-term but high-profile project, with piling works due to commence mid-June. There is also a follow-on phase scheduled for September–October, offering further continuity for the right individual.

• Oversee day-to-day engineering activities with a focus on technical delivery and quality assurance
• Manage cage call-offs and conduct cage inspections/checks
• Review and maintain pile records (including CFA piling and mini-piling)
• Coordinate with concrete suppliers to ensure smooth operations
• Support site coordination with other trades, including demolition and RC works
• Ensure works are delivered in line with project specifications and quality standards

• This is a non-supervisory role focused on engineering and quality rather than site supervision (SMSTS supervision is managed separately)
• Opportunity to be involved in a fast-paced, live construction environment with multiple trades working concurrently
• Potential for continuity between phases, with flexibility to keep the right candidate engaged between programmes (may involve short-term travel)

• Proven experience as a Site Engineer on piling projects
• Strong knowledge of CFA piling and/or mini-piling techniques
• Experience with quality assurance, records management, and technical coordination
• Ability to work collaboratively with site teams and subcontractors
