Site Engineer

A Site Engineer coordinates work on civil engineering constructions. You might specialise in a particular type of project or be employed to oversee developments such as roads, bridges and pipelines. Site Engineers ensure work is progressing on time and monitor project costs. You’ll make sure equipment and materials are available when required.

Site Engineers should be organised and have strong multitasking skills. You’ll need to be a good communicator and be confident liaising with a range of stakeholders. Site Engineers require excellent technical skills and good analytical abilities. You’ll need to be a good problem solver and be able to work as part of a team.
