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. The project involves complex civil engineering works alongside high-voltage electrical infrastructure, requiring engineers who can confidently manage site activities while working with digital design information.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Carrying out setting out and surveying duties across the site.
  • Using BIM models and/or AutoCAD drawings to support construction activities.
  • Identifying potential design clashes and discrepancies between digital models and physical site conditions.
  • 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.
