The Opportunity

TRIbuild Solutions is recruiting a Site Engineer to join a major civils and infrastructure programme at Sellafield – one of the UK's most complex and high‑profile nuclear sites. This is a permanent role offering long‑term stability, a salary of circa £60,000, and a genuine opportunity to develop your career within a challenging, highly regulated nuclear environment.

If you’re a civils engineer looking to take the next step on a project that really matters, we want to hear from you.

The Role

Reporting to the Senior Engineer, you will provide engineering and quality control across construction works within your area of responsibility. You’ll be involved in setting out, ITP inspections, permit and task brief production, temporary works support, and day‑to‑day compliance with site and project requirements. You’ll also play an active role in supporting more junior staff on site.

This is a technically hands‑on role that requires good attention to detail, a proactive approach to HSQE, and the ability to work collaboratively within a large, multi‑disciplinary project team.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide accurate engineering control and setting out in accordance with the latest approved design information
• Produce permits, task briefs and associated documentation for works within your area; ensure all is approved and briefed before works commence
• Contribute to the 3‑week look‑ahead programme and deliver works in accordance with the agreed schedule
• Undertake inspections and checks as defined in project Inspection and Test Plans; maintain quality assurance records
• Identify and raise Non‑Conformance Reports (NCRs) as appropriate; flag erroneous or incomplete design information to line management
• Actively promote and monitor compliance with HSQE requirements; report incidents, near misses and concerns promptly
• Support the Temporary Works Coordinator in ensuring temporary works are constructed, used and dismantled in line with approved designs and method statements
• Maintain accurate site diaries and records of progress, resources, changes and subcontractor works
• Upload all required documents and records to project document control systems (Themis)
• Support and contribute to the development of more junior site staff

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a Site Engineer on civils and/or infrastructure projects
• Experience working within a nuclear, MOD, or other regulated/security‑controlled environment is highly desirable
• Competent in engineering setting out and quality control processes
• Familiarity with ITPs, NCRs, permits and method statements
• Good working knowledge of construction standards and HSQE requirements
• Relevant qualification in Civil Engineering or related discipline (HNC/HND or above)
• CSCS card holder; relevant safety certifications expected
• A collaborative team player with a proactive, can‑do attitude

What's on Offer

• Salary of circa £60,000 depending on experience
• Competitive benefits package
• Permanent position with long‑term programme security
• A high‑profile role on one of the UK's most strategically important infrastructure projects
• Clear pathway for career progression within a major programme
