Technical Project Specialist - Civils

If you're naturally curious, enjoy figuring out how things work, and take pride in solving practical problems, this could be the ideal next step in your career.

Join a long-established specialist contractor with a strong reputation in technical, precision-driven civil engineering work. You'll be part of a team that values expertise, teamwork, and the satisfaction of seeing jobs delivered safely, accurately, and efficiently.

About the Role

This is a hands-on position that blends technical understanding with commercial awareness—and if the commercial side is new to you, don't worry. You'll be fully supported and mentored by an experienced Commercial Director who'll help you develop this part of your skillset.

Day-to-day, you'll be involved in:

  • Assessing incoming enquiries and understanding project requirements.
  • Preparing quotes and pricing work using standard rates and technical insight.
  • Liaising with the operations team to confirm resources and plan delivery.
  • Visiting sites to get a real feel for the job and understand client needs.
  • Managing variations and ensuring work is accurately costed and invoiced.

You'll interact with a wide range of clients—from homeowners to tier-1 contractors—so you'll need to be confident in your communication and enjoy building relationships.

Who This Suits

This role will appeal to someone with a civil engineering, construction, or technical background who's:

  • Inquisitive and likes understanding how projects, machinery, and processes work.
  • Practical and detail-focused, with a knack for solving problems.
  • Keen to develop new skills, particularly in the commercial and contractual side of projects.
  • A strong communicator who enjoys working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.
  • Local and happy to travel occasionally for site visits (a driving licence is essential).

Desirable Experience

  • Some experience in quantity surveying, estimating, or pricing work.
  • Familiarity with NEC or JCT contracts (beneficial but not essential—training provided).

What You'll Get

  • Direct mentoring and guidance from a highly experienced Commercial Director.
  • Exposure to a wide variety of projects across both building and civil engineering sectors.
  • A supportive, close-knit team that values quality, effort, and commitment.
  • A salary of £30,000–£45,000

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in precision, enjoys learning new things, and wants to see your work make a visible difference on site, this is a chance to build a long-term career in a respected, technically driven business.
