Working within a supportive, inclusive and forward-thinking team, you'll drive quality, continuous improvement and project success, helping to deliver sustainable solutions safely, on time and within budget.
What will you be doing?
  • Take the lead on site engineering activities, driving delivery and keeping projects moving at pace.
  • Inspire and mentor Site Engineers while working closely with Site Agent and supervisors to achieve outstanding results.
  • Own setting out and dimensional control, ensuring works are delivered accurately and right first time.
  • Provide practical engineering expertise, resolving technical challenges and keeping progress on track.
  • Lead the drive for quality excellence, ensuring all works meet project specifications, compliance obligations, and Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) standards.
  • Collaborate with project teams, subcontractors and stakeholders to deliver exceptional project outcomes.
  • Champion a culture of safety, environmental responsibility and continuous improvement across site.
Take ownership, make your mark, and help deliver essential projects that leave a lasting impact on communities.
What you’ll bring to Farrans:
  • Degree qualified in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
  • Around 5+ years' experience delivering major infrastructure, energy and aviation projects.
  • Proven ability to plan, prioritise and lead engineering activities on site.
  • Valid CSCS/CSR card and a strong understanding of current health, safety and construction regulations.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and other engineering-related systems.
  • Experience working in a regulated or secure environment (dependent on project).
  • Full UK driving licence.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships at all levels.
  • Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
You'll thrive in this role if you're a driven, proactive engineer who enjoys taking ownership, leading from the front and delivering complex projects that make a lasting difference to communities.
Please note: Due to the nature of some of our projects, successful candidates may be required to obtain airside security clearance, DBS check, driving permit, and successfully pass various pre-employment screening requirements.
In addition, willingness and ability to secure necessary European work visas, where required, is essential to support project and operational needs across the region.
