Are you a Project Engineer with experience delivering major civil engineering or infrastructure projects and looking for your next contract opportunity?
Red Sky Personnel are recruiting for a Project Engineer to join a leading civil engineering contractor delivering a major airside infrastructure project at Gatwick Airport.
This is an excellent opportunity to work within a live operational airport environment, supporting the delivery of reinforced concrete and associated civils works. The project includes large daily concrete pours of up to 100m³, requiring strong engineering leadership, technical coordination and close collaboration with the Project Manager, site teams and subcontractors to ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently and to programme.
We are looking for an experienced Project Engineer with a strong civil engineering background who can take ownership of engineering activities, support the management of site operations and drive quality throughout the project lifecycle.
As a Project Engineer, you will be responsible for:
Supporting the Project Manager with the day-to-day delivery of civil engineering works
Managing engineering activities across reinforced concrete and associated infrastructure packages
Coordinating Site Engineers, subcontractors and technical teams
Reviewing drawings, specifications and resolving technical queries
Managing QA processes, inspections, ITPs, RFIs, NCRs and engineering documentation
Supporting the planning and successful delivery of daily concrete pours
Monitoring progress and ensuring works are delivered safely, on programme and to specification
Promoting a strong safety-first culture across the site
What We're Looking For
Previous experience working as a Project Engineer, Senior Engineer or similar within civil engineering or major infrastructure projects
Strong background delivering reinforced concrete, highways, drainage, utilities or heavy civils packages
Experience managing engineering teams and coordinating subcontractors
Good understanding of QA processes including ITPs, inspections, RFIs, NCRs and engineering records
Experience reviewing technical drawings, resolving engineering issues and supporting project delivery
Knowledge of temporary works, RAMS and construction methodologies
Degree, HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering (preferred)
Valid CSCS Card
Strong communication, planning and organisational skills
What's On Offer
Contract opportunity until November 2026, with the potential for extension
Long-term work on a major airport infrastructure project
Free on-site parking with transport provided to the airside worksite
Opportunity to work alongside an experienced project delivery team on a technically challenging scheme
Excellent exposure to large-scale reinforced concrete and infrastructure works within a live operational airport environment
Please note: Due to the nature of the project, successful candidates will be required to obtain airside security clearance. This includes eligibility for a DBS check, the ability to provide a continuous five-year employment history (or suitable references for any employment gaps), and meeting airport security requirements.
If you're a Project Engineer looking for your next contract opportunity on a major infrastructure project, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch with Cleo at Red Sky Personnel for more information
