Temporary Works Engineer

Overview

Temporary Works Engineer I'm currently working with a leading construction engineering and design consultancy that is looking to appoint a Temporary Works engineer into their established Construction Engineering Design team. This team sits within a large multidisciplinary engineering capability (circa 100 engineers) and supports some of the UK's most complex and high-profile construction and infrastructure projects. The focus of the role is on temporary works design, buildability, construction methodology, and procedural compliance, working closely with site teams and senior stakeholders.

• Advising Temporary Works Coordinators and senior business stakeholders on the effective implementation of Temporary Works standards and procedures
• Providing technical and practical advice on temporary works design within your competency
• Carrying out formal and informal Temporary Works compliance audits and supporting continuous improvement
• Supporting tenders and bids through feasibility studies, outline design schemes, and buildability input
• Delivering alternative solutions and value engineering to improve programme, cost, and constructability
• Providing design management and coordination support, including acting as Lead Designer where required

This opportunity would suit an experienced Temporary Works professional who enjoys a mix of technical input, site engagement, and advisory responsibility.

You'll ideally have :

• Incorporated or working towards Incorporated status with a relevant professional institution (e.g. IEng MICE or equivalent)
• Strong practical experience in temporary works within construction or civil engineering
• A solid understanding of temporary works procedures, compliance, and best practice
• Confidence engaging with project teams, site staff, and senior stakeholders

• Exposure to major UK infrastructure and construction programmes
• Clear long-term progression and development support
• Flexible working arrangements
• Competitive holiday allowance with the option to buy additional leave
• Enhanced pension and share / incentive schemes
• A culture that genuinely invests in its people and professional development

If you're a Senior Temporary Works Advisor (or a strong Temporary Works Engineer ready to step up) and would like a confidential conversation about the role, feel free to get in touch.
