We are currently seeking experienced Site Engineers to support a major engineering project in Peterhead, working on a large-scale AC/DC converter station.

This is an excellent opportunity for Site Engineers with a strong civil engineering background, particularly those with experience in setting out and an understanding of BIM and/or AutoCAD.

• Working closely with the engineering and construction teams to resolve technical issues.

• Monitoring quality control and ensuring works are completed in accordance with specifications and drawings.

• Reviewing technical drawings and supporting the coordination of civil engineering works.

• Ensuring accurate site records and engineering documentation are maintained.
  

Requirements:

• Previous experience working as a Site Engineer within civil engineering.

• Strong setting out experience and confidence working independently on site.

• Experience using AutoCAD and/or BIM would be advantageous, although not essential.

• Ability to interpret technical drawings and engineering information.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work as part of a wider project team.
  

Rate and Benefits:

• Competitive PAYE rates.

• Accommodation allowance available, anticipated to be around £80 per day across four days, depending on travel requirements.

• Potential mileage allowance of 55p per mile for travel between home and site, travelling Monday morning and returning Friday.
  

This is a minimum six-month opportunity with the potential for a considerably longer contract. We are particularly interested in experienced Site Engineers who can bring strong setting out skills and contribute to the successful delivery of a complex engineering project.
