Job description

Senior Engineer – Highways / Earthworks (Contract)

Location: Lincoln | Duration: 6‑Month Contract | Rate: £55 per hour | Working Pattern: Site‑Based (5 Days)

We are currently supporting a live highways road scheme in Lincoln and are seeking a Senior Engineer to support construction delivery on site.

• A background in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, or engineering geology
• A solid design background, enabling you to oversee and challenge construction works on site
