Job Description

Setting out Engineer. Permanent / direct for Groundworks & Infrastructure. A successful Contractor is currently looking for an ambitious and competent setting out Engineer who will be able to provide adequate and accurate information for a number of Groundworks sites. It is hoped that you will be ambitious and seeking to improve your position through the ranks to Contracts Manager over the next 5 to 6 years, so that will see you take over the role of the existing Contracts Manager when he retires over the next few years.

Formed over 10 years ago this Groundworks and Civil Engineering company is steadily expanding, winning further work in areas that are accessible from the M25. They have work from Bedfordshire to Essex, Kent to Surrey and now are keen to recruit an extra Civil Engineer or Land Surveyor with Engineering experience, to initially commence setting out on site and to progress into management under the supervision and training of the existing Contracts Manager.

The Company is a Groundworks and Civil Engineering contractor that works principally for major housing developers, constructing roads, sewers and groundworks for new estates. The company intends to build on this and to run their own development projects. Contracts range in value from £50,000 to £6 million, and currently their annual turnover is in excess of £20 million. Approximately 30% of turnover is for constructing new Adopted roads and sewers. They are approved by a number of County Councils to carry out Public Works of this kind.

You will preferably live within the Surrey / Berkshire / Hampshire catchment area and will be allocated an area based on this whereby you would be generally expected to travel to sites within a 1 hour radius of your home. Covering from 1 to 4 sites depending on the particular requirements of each site you would be provided with a company vehicle or a good car allowance, an above average salary with additional benefits of BUPA and bonuses plus 20 days annual holiday.

With a minimum of 2 years field experience you will either have a recognised qualification in Civil Engineering or Land Surveying or be able to demonstrate considerable practical skills, being fully conversant with current surveying equipment. There will be every opportunity for career advancement within the company who will encourage on-going training and personal development. Ideally CSCS certified and with a current and valid driving licence, you will be capable of taking responsibility in the field. Only applications from people legally permitted to live and work in the UK will be considered.
