Job Description
We are working with a leading national contractor with a region office in Southwest of England. The company have operated in this region for many years and have a secured worked load made up of long-term frameworks, across environmental and highways and broader civil engineering. Due to a continually expanding pipeline of work, my client requires a General Foreman to work on highways, groundworks, bridge refurbishment, utilities, and traffic management across their sites in Bristol & North Somerset.
What the employer is looking for:
- Proven experience as a General Foreman or Site Supervisor in civil engineering.
- Strong groundworks and highways experience.
- Experience coordinating utility diversions with service providers.
- Experience working within traffic management/live highway environments.
- Ability to manage several work fronts and lead direct labour and subcontractors.
- Good understanding of HSEQ requirements and site documentation.
- SSSTS or SMSTS certification.
- CSCS card.
- Ability to work closely with a Site Agent and keep projects on programme.
What the job involves day to day:
You'd essentially be the hands-on site leader, making sure the planned works are delivered safely and efficiently. That includes coordinating crews, plant, subcontractors, and utilities; monitoring progress; maintaining site records; dealing with issues as they arise; and ensuring the work matches the drawings/specification. The role appears particularly suited to someone who has worked on live highway/civil engineering sites, rather than someone whose experience is primarily in building construction.
Employment Package:
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Staff or weekly-paid employment options.
- Long-term work in the Western region.
- Career development and support.
- A portfolio covering highways, bridges, and associated infrastructure.
