A leading joint-venture contractor is delivering a significant section of the UK's high-speed rail infrastructure across multiple locations in Buckinghamshire and the Midlands. The project includes large-scale earthworks, utilities, structures, and associated civil engineering works.

An opportunity has arisen for a Site Engineer to join the engineering team, supporting delivery across sites in Wendover, Aylesbury, Brackley, Buckingham, and Chipping Warden. Due to the remote nature of the site compounds, a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.

The role involves managing setting-out activities, supporting and developing junior engineers, and identifying and resolving technical issues in collaboration with the senior engineering team. You will also monitor and coordinate subcontractors, ensuring their works meet contractual, quality, and safety requirements.
