Length of contract: Ongoing

Want to join a major energy infrastructure contractor and support the delivery of projects across the Melksham region?

Our client is looking for an experienced Site Engineer to join their project team, supporting works across Melksham and surrounding sites.

You will work closely with the construction and project management teams, ensuring works are delivered safely and accurately in accordance with drawings, specifications and project requirements.

The role will involve travelling between projects within approximately a 1.5-hour radius of Melksham, so candidates must be comfortable travelling across the surrounding region as required.

Requirements

  • Previous experience as a Site Engineer / Civil Engineer
  • Engineering degree or relevant equivalent qualification
  • Strong civil engineering and construction knowledge
  • Experience working on infrastructure or major construction projects
  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications
  • Good understanding of site health & safety
  • Strong communication and coordination skills
  • CAT 3 authorisation is advantageous but not essential – the client can support the right candidate in obtaining this
  • Previous substation / T&D experience is advantageous but not essential
  • Willingness to travel to sites within approximately 1.5 hours of Melksham
  • Full UK Driving Licence

This is an excellent opportunity for an Engineer from the wider civils/infrastructure sector to move into T&D and gain experience delivering major energy infrastructure projects.
