Remarkable people, trusted by clients to design and advance the world.
Due to significant growth across our Transmission & Distribution Ltd UK business, we are currently seeking to build a talent pool of Site Engineers for both Overhead Lines and Underground Cabling to join our Wood Transmission & Distribution Ltd entity focusing on supporting foremen, timbermen, and subcontractors in the construction and maintenance of overhead lines sites. As a Site Engineer, you will oversee daily health & safety protocols for staff and subcontractors, report incidents, manage project resources, ensure compliance with safety standards, support the Site Manager and Project Manager with documentation and reporting, and coordinate effectively with all stakeholders. This opportunity is a site-based role and we have works issued under various OHL and Cabling frameworks which means the position is UK wide.

If you are not looking for an immediate opportunity and wish to share your details, we would be interested in hearing from you.
