* Turning design information, GI data and specifications into buildable outputs, including quantities and phased earthworks information
* Managing machine control workflow (model handling, setup, calibration and on-site accuracy)
* Tracking earthworks advancement, measuring outputs and producing clear weekly production updates
* Interpreting drawings/specs, spotting issues early, and feeding clear information into the works team to keep delivery on programme
* Supporting weekly reporting that contributes to forecasting and commercial reviews
Coordination & commercial support

Development & continuous improvement
* Promoting modern methods and technology that improve earthworks efficiency and accuracy
* Supporting junior team members through coaching and day-to-day guidance
What you'll need to succeed
* Degree or HND (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering
* Strong site background across earthworks, drainage, roads and concrete works (typically 4-5+ years)
* Confident with machine control platforms (Topcon / Trimble / Leica) and associated setup/calibration
* Competent with surveying and setting out equipment and methods
* Good IT skills (MS Office, CAD and/or surveying packages) and the ability to produce clear, consistent reporting
* A detail-focused approach, calm under pressure, and able to work to tight deadlines
