Section Engineer

My industry leading tier 1 main contractor client is looking for a driven Section Engineer to spearhead a high-profile roof refurbishment project on a major station in Birmingham.

This technically complex project involves the deconstruction and replacement of existing secondary steelwork and fabric cladding over a live, major rail interchange. As the Section Engineer, you will own the technical delivery, quality control, and sub-contractor management for this critical section of work.

Due to the nature of the work suitable candidates must be willing to work nights.

Candidate Responsibilities:

• Manage the engineering control, dimensional accuracy, and setting-out validation for the deconstruction and installation of secondary steelwork and fabric cladding.
• Author, implement, and sign off on detailed Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), ensuring all quality handovers meet Network Rail asset standards.
• Review and approve Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) and complex Lifting Plans for high-level roof works.

• Actively manage and mentor a small team of Site Engineers, ensuring engineering compliance and personal professional development.
• Supervise and coordinate specialist steelwork and architectural facade subcontractors.
• Manage Temporary Works requirements on-site, ensuring structural stability is maintained at all stages of the deconstruction phase.

• Proven Experience working as Section Engineer for a Tier 1 or leading Tier 2 contractor, ideally on projects valued between £5m-£15m.
• Solid background in structural steelwork modifications, secondary steel installations, or complex facade/cladding systems (experience with fabric/ETFE structures is a major advantage).
• Strong understanding of Temporary Works management (TWC or TWS qualification preferred)
• Degree/HND in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Construction Management (or equivalent experience).
• Valid CSCS card (Gold or Black preferred) and SMSTS.
