Job Description
The role of Construction Support Engineer (Readiness and Rams co‑ordinator) will be to satisfy our obligations as Principal Contractor and meet the challenges of the Brownfield environment and the associated third‑party interfaces. Costain has developed a construction readiness process that needs to be followed to ensure works can commence safely and in compliance with the project’s third‑party obligations.
Reporting to the Chief Field Engineer and in support of the responsible Construction Area Leads (North and South), this role ensures that readiness activities are planned, tracked and coordinated and in compliance with our obligations, providing visibility of live status across multiple construction work‑pack scopes.
