Senior Geotechnical Site Engineer

Senior Engineer – Highways / Earthworks (Contract)

Location: Lincoln | Duration: 6‑Month Contract | Rate: £55 per hour | Working Pattern: Site‑Based (5 Days)

We are currently supporting a live highways road scheme in Lincoln and are seeking a Senior Engineer to support construction delivery on site.

This is a hands‑on, site‑based role, suited to an experienced engineer with a strong design background who is comfortable overseeing and challenging works during construction.

The Role

• Liaison with contractors and the wider project team
• Providing engineering judgement and technical input on site

Please note: This is not a ground investigation (GI) role. The emphasis is firmly on construction‑stage earthworks and delivery, rather than logging or GI execution.

• Experience operating at Senior Engineer level (or strong Senior ready to step up)
• A background in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, or engineering geology
• A solid design background, enabling you to oversee and challenge construction works on site
