These are no ordinary structures and rebar content will be around 400 kilos per m3 of concrete.

Core responsibilities will include:

  • Hold overall responsibility for all technical aspects of your work packages

  • Production and development of method statements, risk assessments, task sheets and procedures, environmental procedures

  • Assist all engineering levels with construction methods and practice

  • Drive high quality and effective procurement processes across materials and services

  • Manage productivity and delivery of the team to the required scope and specifications.

To be successful in this role, it is anticipated that you:

  • Experience in heavy civil engineering projects

  • Have very strong experience in building reinforced concrete structures.

  • Be experienced in managing sub-contractor delivered scope as well as directly delivered works

  • Experience of managing multi-level engineering teams in project environments

  • Hold a degree or Master's in civil Engineer, or equivalent
