Job Description

The role is uniquely split as the project progresses. For the first few months, you will hit the ground running on engineering (surveying, QA, setting out, and civils/utilities). As the build develops, you will move into managing the build alongside the existing delivery team. Because this is a live school environment, works will ramp up during off-peak holiday periods, requiring someone adaptable and highly organised.

  • As the build develops, move into managing the build alongside the existing delivery team

Requirements

  • Strong civil engineering background with experience in setting out, gridlines, and temporary works
  • Experience with steel frame structures and civils is highly advantageous
  • Must have your own kit for this role
  • CSCS and SMSTS are 100% essential
  • First Aid and a DBS check are highly desirable
  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK

Nice to have

  • First Aid
  • DBS check
