The term ‘engineer’ is a very broad one, covering a wide range of disciplines who use the sciences and mathematics to develop solutions for technical applications.

On civil engineering and infrastructure projects, the site engineer performs a technical, organisational and supervisory role. They will be responsible for applying designs and plans for mark out sites, as well as setting out and determining locations for construction operations.

The site engineer will typically work as part of a group led by a section engineer.

The typical roles and responsibilities of a site engineer might include:

* Providing technical advice and support via liaising with subcontractors and operatives.
* Setting out, leveling and surveying the site.
* Checking for the accuracy of plans, drawings and quantities.
* Assessing materials for suitability.
* Liaising with the local authority, where appropriate, to ensure compliance with regulations.
* Maintaining contact with clients and their representatives through regular progress meetings.
* Supervising and monitoring the site workforce.
* Planning day-to-day logistics for plant and site facilities.
* Preparing reports as required.
* Overseeing quality control and health and safety.
* Resolving any technical difficulties.

Site engineers tend to be required to be educated to degree level, in a related course such as building engineering, civil engineering, building surveying, and such like. Work placements on sandwich degree courses enable the undergraduate to gain a year’s experience working in the industry.

Some of the skills that a site engineer should have include:

* Effective communication skills.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
* Accuracy and attention to detail.
* Ability to negotiate, project manage, and liaise with a range of different stakeholders.

A site engineer usually begins their career on a graduate training scheme, lasting approximately two years, after which they may be able to progress on to becoming a section engineer or project engineer.
