Brownlee Cale Longhoughton, Northumberland

Seasonal
We are currently looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager to lead the delivery of a school refurbishment scheme on behalf of a reputable main contractor, with an immediate start available. This is a key site-based role overseeing day-to-day operations on a live refurbishment project, ensuring works are delivered safely, to programme and to the required quality standards. The successful candidate will take ownership of site coordination, subcontractor management, short-term programming and client-facing communication, while maintaining strong control over health and safety, logistics and site standards throughout the project lifecycle. A key part of the role will be overseeing and coordinating M&E subcontractor works alongside the wider refurbishment, so previous experience managing building services packages within refurbishment environments would be highly advantageous. This is expected to run for approximately two months initially, however there is a strong possibility of further work in the region beyond completion for the right individual. The programme is tight, so we are looking for someone who is proactive, organised and comfortable driving progress at pace. Individuals will be expected to work every other weekend through to completion, with weekend rate uplift negotiable. Previous school, education, refurbishment or live environment experience would be highly desirable.

We are looking to appoint an experienced Quality Control Engineer to support delivery of a major RC package on a high-profile infrastructure project in Devonport. This role sits with a self-delivery civil engineering contractor and will suit someone with a strong site engineering background who has moved into, or naturally leans toward, quality assurance, inspection and technical compliance. You are likely to have operated previously as a Site Engineer, Senior Engineer, Section Engineer or Sub Agent on heavy civils, reinforced concrete, marine or infrastructure. The focus of the role is to drive quality on site through rigorous inspection, assurance and record keeping across all stages of the works. You will take ownership of ITP compliance, QA documentation, material and workmanship inspections, and detailed pre-pour and post-pour checks, ensuring works are delivered in line with specification, drawings and client standards. You must be confident working closely with delivery teams, supervisors and site management to challenge standards where needed, close out defects, maintain robust quality records and ensure engineering and construction activities are completed right first time. This is an excellent opportunity for a quality-biased engineer who still understands site delivery and takes real pride in high standards.
