Civil Site Engineer

They manage parts of a construction project (also known as packages), providing technical advice, supervising staff on site and ensuring that their packages are completed on time and within budget.

The main difference between site managers and site engineers is that site engineers tend to have a more specific, technical knowledge and expertise.
Site engineers typically come from a civil, structural, geotechnical, building services, mechanical or electrical engineering background and manage packages related to those areas.

Key tasks of the job include:

managing parts of construction projects
overseeing building work
undertaking surveys
setting out sites
checking technical designs and drawings to ensure that they are followed correctly
supervising contracted staff
ensuring project packages meet agreed specifications, budgets and/or timescales
liaising with clients, subcontractors and other professional staff, especially quantity surveyors and the overall project manager
providing technical advice and solving problems on site
preparing site reports and filling in other paperwork
liaising with quantity surveyors about the ordering and the pricing of materials
ensuring that health and safety and sustainability policies and legislation are adhered to.
Site engineers work out on a construction site in all weathers and tend to work on one project at a time.
Depending on the location of the project, they might need to relocate or complete a lengthy commute.
