Site Engineer – Piling (Short-Term Contract)
Location: Birmingham (Aston Villa Stadium)
Rate: £300 per day ltd
Duration: Mid-June start | 5–6 weeks initially (with return phase Sept–Oct)
Carmichael UK are recruiting for an experienced Site Engineer to support a piling contractor delivering foundation works for the North Stand extension at Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham.
This is a short-term but high-profile project, with piling works due to commence mid-June. There is also a follow-on phase scheduled for September–October, offering further continuity for the right individual.
Role Responsibilities:
- Oversee day-to-day engineering activities with a focus on technical delivery and quality assurance
- Manage cage call-offs and conduct cage inspections/checks
- Review and maintain pile records (including CFA piling and mini-piling)
- Coordinate with concrete suppliers to ensure smooth operations
- Support site coordination with other trades, including demolition and RC works
- Ensure works are delivered in line with project specifications and quality standards
About the Role:
- This is a non-supervisory role focused on engineering and quality rather than site supervision (SMSTS supervision is managed separately)
- Opportunity to be involved in a fast-paced, live construction environment with multiple trades working concurrently
- Potential for continuity between phases, with flexibility to keep the right candidate engaged between programmes (may involve short-term travel)
Requirements:
- Proven experience as a Site Engineer on piling projects
- Strong knowledge of CFA piling and/or mini-piling techniques
- Experience with quality assurance, records management, and technical coordination
- Ability to work collaboratively with site teams and subcontractors
