We are currently seeking experienced Site Engineers to support a major engineering project in Peterhead, working on a large-scale AC/DC converter station.
This is an excellent opportunity for Site Engineers with a strong civil engineering background, particularly those with experience in setting out and an understanding of BIM and/or AutoCAD.

Carrying out setting out and surveying duties across the site.
Using BIM models and/or AutoCAD drawings to support construction activities.
Identifying potential design clashes and discrepancies between digital models and physical site conditions.
Working closely with the engineering and construction teams to resolve technical issues.
Monitoring quality control and ensuring works are completed in accordance with specifications and drawings.
Reviewing technical drawings and supporting the coordination of civil engineering works.
Ensuring accurate site records and engineering documentation are maintained.
Requirements:
Previous experience working as a Site Engineer within civil engineering.
Strong setting out experience and confidence working independently on site.
Experience using AutoCAD and/or BIM would be advantageous, although not essential.
Ability to interpret technical drawings and engineering information.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work as part of a wider project team.
Rate and Benefits:
Competitive PAYE rates.
Accommodation allowance available, anticipated to be around £80 per day across four days, depending on travel requirements.
Potential mileage allowance of 55p per mile for travel between home and site, travelling Monday morning and returning Friday.
This is a minimum six-month opportunity with the potential for a considerably longer contract. We are particularly interested in experienced Site Engineers who can bring strong setting out skills and contribute to the successful delivery of a complex engineering project.
