Site Engineer | Long-Term Freelance Contract | Angus Area 

Looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact from day one?

We’re supporting a civil engineering contractor who has an immediate requirement for an experienced Site Engineer with strong supervisory capabilities to join a live infrastructure project in the East of Scotland.

This is a hands-on position that would particularly suit an Engineer who’s comfortable stepping beyond setting out duties and taking ownership of daily site operations, coordination and supervision.

The project itself is relatively straightforward in nature, involving:

• Deep drainage and utility installations
• Open-cut trench works
• Pipe laying operations
• Reinforced concrete chambers
• Coordination of small site teams and subcontractors
• Quality assurance and daily site records

With a compact workforce on site, this isn’t a role where you’ll be lost in a large management structure. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, work closely with the delivery team and play a key role in keeping the project running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience delivering civil engineering or utility infrastructure projects
• Setting out capability and confidence using surveying equipment
• Strong communication and site coordination skills
• First Aid qualification (preferred)
• Ability to start at short notice

What’s on Offer?

• Immediate start available
• Long-term freelance opportunity
• Mix of engineering and site leadership responsibilities
• Small, collaborative site team
• Established civil engineering contractor
• Opportunity to make an immediate impact on a live project

If you’re an Engineer who enjoys combining technical delivery with site management responsibilities and you’re available to start quickly, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.
