Site / Project Engineer

About the Role

The Site / Project Engineer supports the delivery of a construction project by coordinating engineering information, resolving technical issues, and helping ensure that work is completed safely and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, programme, and quality requirements. The Site / Project Engineer will work closely with the Construction Manager, project team, designers, supervisors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Responsibilities may vary according to project needs and individual experience: one position may focus more on-site delivery and setting out, while the other may focus more on technical coordination and engineering interfaces. Both roles help maintain effective links between design and construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Review drawings, specifications, and technical information; identify discrepancies and raise queries before work proceeds.

• Coordinate engineering and design information between the project team, site teams, designers, subcontractors, and suppliers.

• Provide technical support to site teams and subcontractors during construction.

• Set out works and verify dimensions, levels, and positions where required.

• Manage and follow up technical queries, design clarifications, technical submissions, and engineering actions.

• Coordinate work activities and engineering interfaces across disciplines and subcontractors.

• Monitor work against approved drawings, specifications, construction methods, and quality requirements.

• Support inspections, testing, commissioning, and the close-out of defects or non-conformances.

• Identify technical risks, design gaps, and potential delays, and assist in developing practical solutions.

• Support construction planning by ensuring teams have the required technical information and approvals.

• Maintain accurate records, including site checks, inspection records, technical submissions, and as-built information.

Qualifications & Experience

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, construction management, or a related technical discipline.

• Experience in a site engineering, project engineering, or technical coordination role on a construction project.

• Familiarity with construction drawings, specifications, setting-out methods, and engineering interfaces.

• Experience coordinating technical queries, design information, inspections, or construction documentation.

• Knowledge of construction quality processes, health and safety requirements, and site procedures.
