Measurement Engineer

Measurement Engineer – Civil Engineering

Location: South Lanarkshire
Start Date: ASAP
Duration: 80 weeks
Hours: 07:30 – 18:00

The Opportunity

Looking to move your civil engineering career towards the commercial side?

We are currently recruiting for a Measurement Engineer to join a major civil engineering project in South Lanarkshire, supporting the commercial team with accurate measurement, quantities, valuations and site records.

This is a site-based civil engineering measurement role, ideally suited to someone with hands-on civils experience who understands how works are constructed and can accurately measure and quantify completed works.

You do not need to be a qualified Quantity Surveyor. We are interested in people with strong civil engineering and measurement experience who want to develop their commercial knowledge.

The Role:

Working closely with the Quantity Surveyor and wider site team, your responsibilities will include:

Measuring completed works on site
Measuring earthworks, drainage, roads, concrete and utilities
Checking completed works against drawings and specifications
Recording quantities and producing accurate measurement sheets
Supporting monthly valuations
Measuring subcontractor works and checking quantities
Identifying variations and changes to the works
Working with the Site Engineer to reconcile drawings, surveys and actual construction
Maintaining accurate records to support the commercial position
Using Excel, AutoCAD, Bluebeam and/or measurement software

You will essentially be the link between what is physically happening on site and the information required by the commercial team.

For example, where the QS needs to value a significant amount of earthworks completed during the month, you will help gather the site information, calculate quantities and provide the measurement records that underpin the valuation.

The Ideal Candidate

This role could suit:

Site Engineers with strong measurement experience
Setting-Out Engineers with commercial awareness
Assistant QSs with strong site exposure
Measurement Engineers from a civils background
Civil Engineering Technicians with relevant measurement experience
Junior or Assistant Quantity Surveyors who prefer a site-based role

Strong experience with earthworks, drainage and general civils quantities is more important than being professionally qualified as a QS.
