Senior SCL Engineer

Candidates for the Senior SCL Engineer role must have a proven experience of large-scale civil engineering projects using SCL construction methods.

The candidates for the Senior SCL Engineer role must be experienced in SCL construction and competent to make decisions on critical actions and act as team leader.  Such personnel will be present on a daily basis during the SCL works but could also provide occasional shift or call out cover. In circumstances where one Area has only limited SCL works taking place a Senior Engineer may work across more than one Area.

 The Senior SCL Engineer can be seen as the “controlling mind” to ensure the safety and quality of the SCL works.

Knowledge and experience are the key attributes for the role along with strong interpersonal organizational team working skills and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. The confidence to challenge is also a desirable attribute as the role will support the Construction delivery team in providing guidance to them whilst maintaining a focus on compliance.

You will be reporting to the Area Lead Engineering Manager.
