This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a landmark development that aims to transform the future of low-carbon energy and support the UK’s journey towards net zero.

Working alongside our project partners, you’ll be part of a team delivering complex engineering works on a project that will make a real difference to the energy sector.
As Section Engineer, you’ll play a key role in the safe and successful delivery of construction activities, ensuring work is completed to the required standards, programme and specification.

As a Section Engineer you will be:
Managing and coordinating engineering activities within your allocated section of the project.
Ensuring all works are delivered safely, in line with project specifications, drawings and relevant standards.

A good understanding of health, safety, environmental and quality requirements.
Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple activities and work effectively with different teams.
A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the confidence to take ownership and drive work forward.
Day in, day out, our teams deliver some of the UK’s most ambitious, exciting and meaningful projects; developing, building and maintaining the vital infrastructure that supports national economies and strengthens communities.
