Site Engineer
Flagship Marine Project | Plymouth | Long-Term Work

The Opportunity

If you’re a Site Engineer looking to be part of a major, career-defining project — not just another job — this is one well worth considering.
You’ll join a high-profile marine civil engineering scheme involving complex reinforced concrete works, where engineering standards are high and capable people are trusted to deliver.
This is not a short-term requirement. It’s a long-term project offering real continuity, strong leadership on site, and the opportunity to build experience that will genuinely enhance your career.

The Role

As Site Engineer, you’ll be at the centre of project delivery, supporting key work packages on site while working closely with senior engineers and site management.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Setting out and surveying for major works packages
  • Ensuring works are delivered in line with drawings and specifications
  • Supporting quality assurance and maintaining high standards on site
  • Assisting with RAMS and safe systems of work
  • Coordinating subcontractors and daily site activities
  • Keeping accurate records and tracking progress
  • Helping solve engineering challenges across complex RC and marine works

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll be trusted, valued, and relied upon.

About You

We’re looking for a motivated Site Engineer who can demonstrate:

  • Eligibility to obtain SC Clearance
  • Experience as a Site Engineer on civil engineering projects
  • Strong setting out and quality control knowledge
  • Reinforced concrete experience (preferred)
  • Marine or major infrastructure experience (advantageous, not essential)
  • HNC / HND / Degree in Civil Engineering or similar
  • Based locally to Plymouth or able to work there

Most importantly, you’ll be reliable, proactive, and keen to be part of a serious project with high standards.
What’s In It For You?

  • Long-term job security on a flagship infrastructure scheme
  • Exposure to complex marine and reinforced concrete works
  • A strong and experienced site team to learn from
  • Competitive salary and package
  • Clear pathway into Senior Engineer / Section Engineer roles
  • Ongoing work beyond this project

The Company

You’ll be joining a contractor known for delivering technically challenging, high-value infrastructure projects across marine, water, and energy sectors.
They’ve built a reputation for quality, technical excellence, and long-term client relationships — while investing in the people who help deliver their success.

Why This Role?

If you want to be part of a major project that will strengthen your CV, broaden your technical experience, and open future career opportunities, this is an excellent next step.
