We are seeking a Senior Engineer to join a major structural project in Folkestone, specifically focusing on the delivery of a multi-span concrete viaduct.

Accuracy & Alignment: Lead high-precision setting out, ensuring the verticality of tall piers and the correct geometric profile of the viaduct spans.
Pour Management: Coordination of large-scale, complex concrete pours, managing everything from reinforcement inspections and pre-pour checklists to curing and strike times.
Temporary Works: Oversee the safe installation and removal of heavy-duty formwork, falsework, and propping systems.
Quality Assurance: Drive the ITP (Inspection Test Plan) process, ensuring all rebar, concrete mix designs, and finishes meet the structural specification.
Requirements
Structures Experience: Minimum 12 months of direct experience in bridge or viaduct construction with a heavy focus on reinforced concrete.
Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of bar bending schedules (BBS), reinforcement detailing, and concrete technology.
Qualifications: Degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
Certifications: Valid CSCS (Management/Professional) and SMSTS are essential.
Leadership: Proven experience managing site engineers and RC subcontractors on large-scale infrastructure.
The Package
Rate: £400 - £500 per day (PAYE).
