Job description

MWH have now been awarded Projects at Dukinfield, Aston-Under-Lyne, Arnfield, Godley, Hyde and Wigan and Skelmersdale across the AMP8 Framework Agreement with United Utilities. We are looking to strengthen our Construction and Project delivery teams with Section Engineers assigned to a project or section within our programme of work.

Reporting to the Agent or Sub-Agent, you will be part of the Site Engineering team, leading the engineering delivery on large scale water infrastructure projects. The Senior Civil Site Engineer provides technical leadership, ensures safe and efficient delivery on site, manages engineering teams, and takes full accountability for setting out, quality assurance, temporary works supervision, and engineering compliance. You will act as the key interface between design, construction, and the supply chain, ensuring works are delivered to specification, programme, cost, and safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Delivery & Technical Control

  • Lead the full site engineering function, including setting out, dimensional control, verification, and survey activities.
  • Manage engineering teams (Project Engineers, Site Engineers, Graduates) to ensure accurate execution of works.
  • Ensure primary control is validated; resolve discrepancies in design information and site conditions.
  • Oversee installation activities to ensure compliance with drawings, specifications, tolerances, and standards.
  • Maintain and manage survey/setting‑out equipment including calibration and testing regimes.
  • Produce technical sketches, calculations, and engineering records to support construction activities.
  • Ensure drawing registers and technical documentation are controlled, up‑to‑date, and properly issued.

Quality & Technical Assurance

  • Implement Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), quality procedures, and technical assurance requirements.
  • Ensure ITP's, check sheets, and quality records are fully completed and stored correctly in a timely manner.
  • Lead production of accurate as‑built surveys, red‑line drawings, and handover documentation.
  • Conduct quality inspections, close out NCRs, and drive a “right‑first‑time” approach.
  • Support Technical Assurance reviews, ensuring design compliance and correct installation.

Health, Safety & Environment

  • Champion a proactive safety culture across engineering and delivery teams.
  • Prepare, brief, and implement Safe Systems of Work including RAMS and Permits to Work.
  • Carry out routine safety inspections, audits, and behavioural conversations.
  • Support or act as Temporary Works Coordinator, ensuring compliance with procedures.
  • Promote environmental protection measures and ensure works are carried out sustainably and responsibly.

Planning & Progress Control

  • Lead short‑term planning (1–4 week lookaheads), ensuring engineering activities align with programme needs.
  • Track progress through measurement, quantity reporting, and verification of installed works.
  • Maintain accurate daily diaries, records, and progress data, ensuring issues are captured and communicated.
  • Support identification of risks, opportunities, constraints, and programme deviations.
  • Provide input to planning teams regarding sequencing, constructability, and engineering logic.

Stakeholder & Team Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Designers, Supply Chain, Supervisors and Client Representatives.
  • Communicate engineering requirements clearly to workforce and subcontractors.
  • Support positive client relationships through proactive engagement and transparent communication.

Digital Engineering & Innovation

  • Apply digital tools for surveying, quality management, and programme reporting (BIM, AutoCAD, Pix4D)
  • Ensure as‑built information is captured digitally to support handover and asset information requirements.
  • Identify opportunities for digital optimisation, automation, or improved data capture.
  • Promote innovation and new technology to drive productivity and reduce risk
