  • Monitor borehole decommissioning works to ensure activities are completed safely and in accordance with project specifications.

  • Ensure subcontractors comply with site health and safety requirements, risk assessments and method statements (RAMS).

  • Carry out site inspections, monitor safe working practices and escalate any issues where necessary.

  • Coordinate daily activities and support the delivery of planned works and programme targets.

  • Monitor subcontractor performance, workmanship and progress, reporting issues to the wider site management team.

  • Maintain effective communication with subcontractors, site management and other project stakeholders.

  • Help ensure relevant site documentation, permits and safety records are maintained.

Requirements

  • Previous experience as a Foreman, General Foreman, Civil Foreman or Site Supervisor within construction or civil engineering.

  • Valid CSCS card.

  • SMSTS or SSSTS qualification.

  • Experience supervising subcontractors and coordinating site teams or multiple gangs.

  • A strong understanding of site health and safety requirements and safe systems of work.

  • Good communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.

Desirable Experience

  • Previous experience in groundwork’s, geotechnical works, drilling, ground investigation or borehole decommissioning.

  • Experience working on major infrastructure or civil engineering projects.

  • Previous experience working within a Tier 1 contractor environment.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to contribute to a major infrastructure programme, supporting the safe and efficient delivery of a substantial volume of borehole decommissioning works.

Candidates with strong general civils or groundwork’s supervision experience are encouraged to apply, even if they have not worked directly on borehole decommissioning.

Must be based out of either the Litchfield or Crewe office!
