-
Reviewing and ensuring compliance with construction drawings, specifications, and QA requirements
-
Participating in constructability reviews and construction planning
-

What We’re Looking For
-
Previous experience supervising construction or installation works within highly regulated or complex project environments (e.g., nuclear, energy, defence, infrastructure)
-
A strong understanding of site safety, quality control, and compliance processes
-
Experience delivering against detailed RAMS, project drawings, and QA documentation
-
Confident communicator with the ability to lead teams and engage effectively with clients and stakeholders

Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing team working on some of the UK’s most critical infrastructure programmes. You’ll gain exposure to complex engineering challenges, operate within a supportive and safety-conscious environment, and be part of a company that values innovation, integrity, and excellence.
