What does a site engineer do?
Site engineers play a key role in the delivery of construction and infrastructure projects, acting as the link between technical design and on-site implementation. Typically employed within sectors such as highways, rail, water, and utilities, they are responsible for setting out, surveying, and ensuring quality assurance throughout the construction process.
A successful site engineer will possess strong technical knowledge of civil engineering principles, excellent communication skills for liaising with subcontractors and consultants, and a sound understanding of health and safety standards. With the increasing focus on sustainable construction, site engineers must also ensure compliance with environmental regulations and contribute to efficient project delivery. This role is foundational in the built environment and offers clear progression into senior engineering and project management positions.
