Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Setting out and survey control along the alignment; feeding site conditions back to the design team
- Supervising earthworks, drainage, subbase, base and surface dressing
- Culvert and side drain construction, including lined drains through settlements, mitre and scupper drains, and erosion protection at outfalls
- Supervising reinforced concrete works at the river crossings - falsework, reinforcement, pours, curing - while keeping the existing crossing open to traffic
- Running the testing regime - density, CBR, moisture content, concrete cubes - and holding the line when results fail
- Materials control from borrow pits and quarries: sourcing, sampling, approval, haulage records
- Site records: daily diaries, measurement sheets, as-built information, materials receipts
- Technical queries, method statements, and health and safety on your sections
Other Requirements:
- You report to the Assistant Project Manager and deal daily with the supervising consultant's site staff.
- When a defect is raised, you are the person who explains what happened and what the fix will be.
- You will also work within a live right-of-way through inhabited settlements, where every metre of cross-section taken has consequences for somebody's property.
- Sensible engineering judgment here matters as much as the technical work.
What We Are Looking For
- Five years minimum in civil works, with at least two on roads - earthworks through to pavement.
- You should have personally set out a road alignment, run a compaction testing regime, and produced site records that stood up during a payment dispute.
- Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Technology and Management, or related field
- Confident with level and total station
- Fluent in the applicable road standard specification
- Reinforced concrete bridge or major culvert experience, strong advantage
- Able to write a clear technical letter
- Valid driver's licence
- Judgment about when work is good enough and when it isn't, and the nerve to act on it
Other Information: You will be resident at the site camp for the duration. Nearest sizeable town is a drive away.
What We Offer
- Salary negotiable and based on what you bring.
- Site accommodation, transport, medical cover, and leave rotation.
- You will finish with a full corridor from clearing to surfacing, plus permanent bridge works, on your record.
