So, what are we looking for?
You should be skilled in delivering civil engineering projects, preferably with experience in large Earthworks projects within renewable energy, Power & Transmission, highways, or marine construction, exceeding £10m in value.
This role requires a commercial mindset with a good understanding of commercial contracts (NEC3/4).
To succeed, you'll need excellent communication and analytical skills, along with:
1. HND or Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
2. Proven experience managing large-scale Earthworks projects.
3. Strong Project Management skills, including planning, scheduling, budgeting, forecasting, and resource management.
4. Ability to implement quality management processes to ensure delivery to the required standards and specifications.
5. Experience conducting inspections, audits, and quality checks to ensure compliance.
You must be able to work at pace, with flexibility, agility, and resilience being key attributes.
Additional skills and experience that would be beneficial include:
* Familiarity with heavy civil construction techniques.
* Knowledge of MCHW or Grid specifications.
* Understanding of the Scottish civil engineering sector.
* Experience working in remote or island locations.
Please note: A valid UK driving license and the ability to travel to remote sites are required. All applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as sponsorship is not provided.

* Company vehicle
* Performance-related bonus scheme
* Pension plan with employer contributions
* Ongoing professional development support
* Accommodation & return flights (when based on Stornoway)
If you're ready for a challenge and want to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you!
*Accommodation is only provided when the project moves to site; applicants must be prepared to source their own accommodation outside Glasgow or Highland regions.
**Applicants must have the relevant right to work documentation; sponsorship is not offered at this time.
