Project Engineer

Company: Computer Futures

Location: Leicester

Posted: May 1st, 2026

We are seeking a hands‑on Project Engineer to support the implementation of a major Food & Beverage facility project delivering a new warehouse, packaging area, and recipe formulation capability. With the GC mobilised, this role is pivotal in ensuring safe, coordinated, high‑quality construction and equipment installation, acting as the on‑site link between construction contractors, installation vendors, and the Owner’s team.

You will drive day‑to‑day site delivery: coordinating activities, resolving field issues, ensuring build standards and design intent are met, and preparing for commissioning and start‑up.

Key Objectives

Core Responsibilities (Day‑to‑Day Deliverables)

  1. Contractor & Site Management
    • Provide daily on‑site supervision of construction and equipment installation contractors.
    • Coordinate contractor work fronts, access, permits, and sequencing to maintain productivity and avoid clashes.
    • Run or support daily coordination meetings / toolbox talks, tracking actions and follow‑ups.
    • Monitor contractor performance vs. scope, schedule, quality, and safety expectations; escape risks early.
  2. Communication & Stakeholder Coordination
    • Act as the central on‑site interface between GC, subcontractors, equipment vendors, and the Owner team.
    • Communicate constraints, upcoming works, shutdowns, and interface points clearly and proactively.
    • Ensure consistent alignment on priorities, constraints, and field changes.
  3. Construction Quality & Standards Assurance
    • Verify that construction activities meet design intent, specifications, codes, and required build standards.
    • Support site QA/QC: inspections, sign‑offs, punch listing, and closeout tracking.
    • Identify defects/non‑conformances; coordinate corrective actions and prevent recurrence.
  4. Equipment Installation & Services Coordination
    • Oversee equipment installation contractors to ensure proper placement, alignment, anchoring, guarding, and interfaces.
    • Coordinate utilities/services readiness for equipment during construction (e.g., power, air, water, drainage, steam, data).
    • Manage installation interfaces between civil/structural, MEP trades, OEM vendors, and commissioning teams.
  5. Issue Resolution & Field Engineering Support
    • Provide rapid response to field queries (RFIs in practice), clarifications, and constructability challenges.
    • Support resolution of clashes and site constraints, coordinating with design/engineering as needed.
    • Maintain accurate field records of changes, deviations, and as‑built updates.
  6. Commissioning & Handover Preparation
    • Develop and/or support the commissioning plan for installed equipment and systems (mechanical completion through start‑up).
    • Coordinate pre‑commissioning checks: readiness, vendor attendance, test packs, and documentation.
    • Support handover: O&M manuals, training coordination, spares lists, punch closeout, and turnover dossiers.
