You will manage the site engineering team and be responsible for the performance and development of site and Section Engineers.

You will also assist with the co‑ordination of construction operations, ensuring they conform to the contract requirements and maintaining the required level of safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ). Additional duties include production of programmes, progress reports, resource and cost plans, financial forecasting, site measurement, material reconciliations and cost control.

Key Skills and Qualifications
