Key Responsibilities Supervise and coordinate specialist subcontractors undertaking survey and site investigation works across multiple sites. Ensure all survey activities are delivered safely, in accordance with programme, RAMS and client requirements. Act as the key site liaison between subcontractors, the client and the design team. Monitor progress and quality of survey outputs, ensuring all required information is captured to support Outline Design. Identify site constraints, construction risks, access issues and opportunities that may influence future design and buildability. Provide regular progress updates and technical feedback to project managers and design engineers. Coordinate site access, permits and stakeholder requirements where necessary. Carry out site inspections and ensure compliance with health, safety and environmental standards. Support the transition from survey and Outline Design into the Design & Build delivery phase. The client is looking for an individual with previous experience within the water, utilities or civil engineering sectors who has a strong understanding of pre-construction activities, site investigations and the importance of accurate survey information in developing robust engineering designs. Experience working closely with design teams and an appreciation of buildability, technical constraints and design development will be highly advantageous.
