Who We Are

Built on strong electrical engineering foundations, the business has evolved into a multidisciplinary engineering partner delivering complex projects across water utilities, rail, steel and manufacturing.
Today, our capabilities span MEICA, EICAT, civil engineering, control-panel design and manufacture, automation, software and digital transformation.

The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Operations Director, you’ll take responsibility for the successful day-to-day delivery of multiple civil engineering projects.
Working closely with Account Managers, Site Supervisors, Design Managers and Estimators, you’ll coordinate technical delivery, resources, programmes, budgets and project risks while maintaining excellent HSE standards.
You’ll also work directly with clients and commercial stakeholders, keeping everyone aligned, resolving issues proactively and ensuring projects meet specification, timescale and commercial objectives.
It’s a varied role requiring someone who can see the bigger picture while staying close enough to the detail to keep projects moving.
Where You’ll Make an Impact
Lead Project Delivery
• Manage multiple civil engineering projects, teams, subcontractors, resources and materials.

• Maintain high HSE standards and ensure CDM and legislative compliance.
• Communicate project changes, challenges and risks proactively.
About You
You’ll bring proven experience delivering civil engineering projects within utilities or infrastructure and understand the practical, technical and commercial demands involved.
You’ll be comfortable coordinating multiple projects and stakeholders, managing changing priorities and making confident decisions when challenges arise.

• Experience managing complex programmes, budgets and resources.
• Confidence managing project teams, subcontractors and suppliers.
