MWH have now been awarded Projects at Dukinfield, Aston-Under-Lyne, Arnfield, Godley, Hyde and Wigan and Skelmersdale across the AMP8 Framework Agreement with United Utilities. We are looking to strengthen our Construction and Project delivery teams with Section Engineers assigned to a project or section within our programme of work.
Reporting to the Senior Site Engineer or Sub-Agent, you will be part of the Site Engineering team, leading technical delivery, engineering control, and quality assurance. Ensure activities are planned, executed, and handed over safely, accurately, and in line with design and programme requirements. Working within a multidisciplinary delivery team, you will translate design into buildable solutions, coordinate with planning, commercial, temporary works, and construction teams, and support the performance of subcontractors and direct labour. You will also mentor junior engineers, drive right‑first‑time delivery, and help maintain a culture focused on safety, collaboration, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
Engineering Delivery & Technical Control
- Lead the engineering control for an area of works, ensuring accurate setting‑out, surveying, and dimensional control.
- Interpret design information, identify inconsistencies, and raise technical queries with clear, solution‑driven proposals.
- Establish and maintain primary control points, ensuring protection, verification, and compliance with project tolerances.
- Oversee as‑built surveys, engineering checks, and verification activities.
- Provide technical guidance and coaching to Site Engineers, Graduates and Apprentices, ensuring consistent engineering standards.
- Collaborate with Temporary Works teams to ensure temporary works requirements are clearly defined and safely executed.
Quality & Technical Assurance
- Develop, implement, and maintain ITPs for all relevant construction activities.
- Drive a right‑first‑time culture by ensuring works comply with specifications, standards, and project quality processes.
- Maintain and manage digital quality records, test results, and assurance documentation.
- Identify, raise, and close out NCRs; support root‑cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
- Liaise with designers, technical specialists to ensure robust assurance and sign‑off.
- Support validation and verification processes, including certification, inspection, and handover requirements.
- Manage Technical Queries and coordinate engineering solutions with designers and stakeholders.
- Control and maintain accurate as-built records and asset data suitable for handover.
Health, Safety & Environment
- Lead the preparation of RAMS and Safe Systems of Work.
- Support the implementation of Permits to Work, ensuring compliance with safe systems of work.
- Identify hazards and implement appropriate control measures, contributing proactively to risk reduction.
- Feed into incident investigations where required, ensuring learning is captured and shared.
- Promote and lead a positive safety culture, supporting Zero Harm objectives.
Planning & Progress Control
- Produce short‑term (1–4 week) programmes aligned with the project programme
- Support lookahead planning, coordination of interfaces, and sequencing of multiple subcontractor activities.
- Maintain accurate records of progress, delays, and change events.
Stakeholder & Team Collaboration
- Coordinate effectively with internal disciplines (commercial, planning, design, temporary works, SHEQ).
- Engage openly with non-working supervisors, subcontractors, and the client to ensure aligned expectations.
- Support collaborative planning sessions, problem‑solving meetings, and daily coordination briefings.
- Build strong working relationships with subcontractors, guiding them through technical and quality requirements.
- Communicate engineering decisions clearly and professionally, ensuring understanding across all levels.
Digital Engineering & Innovation
- Apply digital tools for surveying, quality management, and programme reporting (BIM, AutoCAD, Pix4D)
- Capture as‑built information digitally to support handover and asset information requirements.
- Identify opportunities for digital optimisation, automation, or improved data capture.
- Promote innovation and new technology to drive productivity and reduce risk.
