Apex M&E Solutions is recruiting an experienced Site Engineer to join an award-winning construction contractor delivering projects across the East Midlands.

Working alongside the Site Manager, you’ll take responsibility for key engineering activities on site, initially supporting new residential and commercial developments.

Your role will extend beyond setting out. You’ll help coordinate subcontractors, materials and programme requirements, maintain accurate records and support the team in delivering work safely and to the required standard.

  • Maintain site records, inspection and test plans, as-built drawings and environmental documentation.
  • Uphold safety, health, environmental and quality requirements.
  • Guide other team members and build productive relationships across the site.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have at least five years’ experience as a Site Engineer on residential developments, ideally with some commercial build experience.

A third-level qualification in Construction Engineering and Management, or a similar discipline, is required, alongside relevant site cards and a full, valid driving licence.

You should be confident taking initiative, managing competing priorities and accepting responsibility for the accuracy and quality of your work.

Your package

  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
  • Company vehicle with fuel card.
  • Private medical insurance, life assurance and employee assistance programmes.
  • Additional holidays, service awards and marriage leave.
  • Enhanced family-friendly benefits.
  • Training, career development and professional membership support.
  • Social and team-building events.
