As-Built Surveys: Conducting regular surveys and maintaining precise as-built records. Requirements
Essential: Extensive experience operating as a Senior Site Engineer for a Main Contractor or Civil Engineering business.
Essential: A highly technical background in precise groundworks, RC foundations, and holding-down bolt setting out.
Essential: Highly proficient with modern robotic surveying equipment (Trimble/Leica) and interpreting complex AutoCAD drawings.
Qualifications: Degree/HNC in Civil Engineering and a valid CSCS Card. What's on Offer
Flexibility: Available on either a Permanent (£55k-£65k) or Contract (£350-£450 p/d) basis.
Critical Impact: A role where your engineering accuracy directly dictates the success of a fast-paced, high-profile project. Location Nottingham, Midlands. (Ideal for candidates based in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Mansfield, or the wider M1/A52 corridor).
