Setting Out Engineer | Long-Term Civil Engineering Projects | Glasgow Area

Looking for your next contract with genuine longevity?

We're working with a well-established civil engineering contractor delivering a diverse portfolio of infrastructure and groundwork projects across the Greater Glasgow area. Due to a growing workload, they're looking to appoint a Setting Out Engineer who can join the team immediately and play a key role across multiple live sites.

This is an opportunity to secure long-term work, expected to run into 2027, with a steady pipeline of projects ranging from traditional groundworks and infrastructure packages through to more technically challenging civil engineering schemes.

You'll be involved in a mix of works including:

  • Roads and infrastructure
  • Drainage and utilities
  • Foundations and earthworks
  • Reinforced concrete elements
  • Retaining structures
  • Specialist foundation packages


The role will see you supporting several projects across the Glasgow region, including schemes in and around the city centre, giving you exposure to a varied and interesting workload rather than being tied to a single site.

What we're looking for:

  • Previous experience as a Setting Out Engineer on civils or groundworks projects
  • Confident using modern surveying equipment (Trimble, Leica or similar)
  • Ability to work independently while liaising closely with site teams
  • Strong understanding of QA, as-builts and site documentation
  • Available to start within the next few weeks


The Offer:

  • Long-term contract with work secured into 2027
  • Variety of projects across the Glasgow area
  • Interesting mix of infrastructure, groundwork and structural civils packages
  • Established contractor with a strong project pipeline


If you're a Setting Out Engineer looking for a stable, long-term contract with interesting civil engineering work across the Glasgow region, we'd be keen to have a confidential chat.
