Job Description

The primary purpose of a site engineer is to ensure that construction projects are completed accurately and safely. They provide technical advice, manage staff on-site, and ensure compliance with health and safety standards. Site engineers are responsible for overseeing all on-site activities to ensure they align with the project’s design, specifications, and legal requirements. They also manage daily site activities, solve problems that arise during construction, and help keep the project running smoothly from start to finish.

This role is in the Operations Engineering job family, supporting Costain project delivery of the Brent Cross Structures Programme. The scheme includes both structural and highway maintenance, repairs and upgrades to the TfL network.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
