Construction Project Engineer

Leighton Buzzard

Permanent, Full Time

Are you looking to step away from constant site-to-site travel and join a business where you can see projects through from concept to completion?

Our client, Initivo, a specialist consultancy delivering infrastructure and highways solutions across the UK, is seeking a Construction Project Engineer to join their team in Leighton Buzzard.

Initivo offers a rare opportunity for a Construction Project Engineer to join its specialist testing facility in Leighton Buzzard. Working from a permanent 15-acre site, you'll play a key role in delivering construction and façade testing projects that support some of the UK's most prestigious infrastructure developments and blue-chip clients.

This is not a typical construction role.

Why Join Initivo?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business in a role that offers a diverse workload, a stable working environment, and strong work-life balance. Based predominantly at Initivo's dedicated testing facility in Leighton Buzzard, you'll avoid the need for extensive travel and benefit from a consistent working location.

No two days are the same. You'll contribute to engineering design, project delivery, and commercial support. You will also liaise with clients, produce technical reports, and support construction testing activities.

You'll gain experience across the entire project lifecycle while developing skills in:

• Project management
• Commercial and cost planning
• Technical reporting
• Construction testing
• Planning and coordination
• Health & Safety management

• AutoCAD experience
• Strong organisational and project coordination skills
• Good Health & Safety awareness
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities
• A proactive, inquisitive approach with a desire to learn and develop

Qualifications
