• Engage with stakeholders and internal disciplines to confirm scope, access requirements, and programme constraints.

Delivery & Oversight 

• Act as the site-based engineering lead during mitigation works, ensuring compliance with approved designs and methodologies. 
• Carry out setting out and provide technical guidance to supervisors and operatives. 
• Monitor subcontractor performance, ensuring adherence to safety, quality, and environmental requirements. 
• Ensure all permits, consents, and documentation are in place prior to commencing works.

• Verify that works are delivered in line with specifications and technical requirements.
• Identify and raise NCRs, managing them through to closeout in collaboration with the wider team.
• Compile and support completion of quality and technical assurance documentation for handover.
• Manage non-conformances from identification to close-out, including engagement with Asset Protection Engineers and Third-Party Stakeholders.

Temporary Works

• Ensure temporary works installations are compliant, inspected, and safely managed on site.
• Liaise with Temporary Works Coordinators/Supervisors to maintain full compliance with procedures.

Stakeholder Interface 

• Liaise closely with Section Foremen, subcontractors, and the Asset Protection team to ensure adherence to safe and agreed working methods.
• Provide support to internal teams such as Community Relations, Highways, Environmental, and Logistics to ensure stakeholder concerns are addressed and work impacts are minimised.
• Assist in preparing evidence, reports, and monitoring records for stakeholder reviews, assurance submissions, or statutory requirements.

Health, Safety & Environment 

• Maintain the highest level of health, safety, and environmental performance, prioritising the protection of people, third-party assets, and sensitive environments (e.g., cemeteries, charitable premises).
• Demonstrate commitment to the project’s Health, Safety, and Environmental Policies and ensure they are clearly communicated to the workforce and subcontractors.
• Collaborate proactively with HS2, SCS JV teams, and other contractors to maintain compliance and meet overarching project goals.

The Ideal Candidate

• Degree or equivalent in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience in Civil Engineering or Infrastructure projects; experience in asset protection, stakeholder-facing works, or working adjacent to sensitive structures is desirable.
• Understanding of reinforced concrete structures, utilities interfaces, and temporary works.
• Relevant CSCS card.
