Site Engineer – Quality & Adoptions

East / Central Scotland | Multi-site role | Design & Engineering Team

Be the technical backbone behind infrastructure quality and successful adoptions across multiple live housing developments.

An established residential developer is seeking a technically strong, site-focused engineer to take ownership of infrastructure inspection, quality assurance and the structured close-out of developments through to adoption.

This role sits within the Design & Engineering team, reporting to the Engineering Manager — not site management — and focuses on ensuring roads, drainage, SUDS and external works are constructed correctly, signed off properly and successfully adopted by bodies such as Scottish Water and local authorities.

The Role

You’ll work across multiple live developments throughout East and Central Scotland, carrying out programmed inspections of groundworks and infrastructure, verifying compliance with drawings and standards, identifying defects early and ensuring remedial actions are closed out efficiently.

You’ll also lead the technical coordination of adoptions and handovers — from as-built records and testing through to vesting — acting as a key liaison between site teams, contractors and adopting authorities. Your work will directly enable smooth, compliant site closure and protect programme and commercial performance.

Functionally, this position allows senior engineering staff to focus on design development, approvals and value engineering, while you ensure delivery quality and orderly completion on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

  • Inspect groundworks, roads, drainage and SUDS installations across multiple sites
  • Monitor compliance with drawings, specifications and Scottish standards
  • Maintain structured inspection records, reports and photographic evidence
  • Support and review ITPs and key hold points for civils packages
  • Coordinate sewer, roads and SUDS adoptions through to vesting
  • Liaise with Scottish Water, local authority roads teams, Building Standards and factors
  • Drive closure of defects and non-conformances prior to adoption
  • Provide technical feedback to improve future design and constructability

About You

You’ll likely come from a background as a Site Engineer, Civil Engineer, Clerk of Works or Infrastructure Inspector within residential or groundworks projects.

You’ll bring:

  • Strong knowledge of housing infrastructure (roads, drainage, utilities, SUDS)
  • Experience in site inspection and quality assurance
  • Confidence interpreting engineering drawings and specifications
  • Understanding of Scottish adoption processes (desirable but not essential)
  • Excellent organisation skills across multiple live sites
  • Full UK driving licence

HNC/HND/Degree in Civil Engineering (or similar) is desirable.

Reference: 20233

Role Summary:

Major IT Consultancy is seeking a Bare Metal Platform Engineer to be responsible for the technical engineering, industrialisation, and operational lifecycle of a clients global x86 estate. Unlike a traditional asset lead, this role focuses on abstracting hardware complexity through automation. You will be responsible for engineering the ‘connective tissue’ between vendor-specific management tools (iDRAC, iLO, XCC) and the clients core orchestration engines. The goal is to deliver ‘Bare Metal as a Service’ (BMaaS) by ensuring that Dell, HPE, and Lenovo hardware can be provisioned, managed, and observed as a unified, code-driven resource.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Unified Orchestration Engineering: Design and implement automation workflows that abstract vendor-specific tools (Lenovo XClarity, Dell OpenManage, HPE OneView) into a standardized management layer.
  • Northbound Integration: Lead the integration of hardware management platforms with the Bank’s Ansible and Terraform playbooks to enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning.
  • Observability & Telemetry: Engineer the export of hardware health and performance metrics into OpenTelemetry (OTEL) and Prometheus to ensure unified monitoring across the heterogeneous fleet.
  • ITSM & DDI Automation: Automate the end-to-end lifecycle from IP allocation (DDI/IPAM) to ServiceNow ticket generation for automated hardware break-fix and warranty tracking.
  • Firmware & Security Compliance: Define and programmatically enforce ‘Golden Baselines’ for BIOS, RAID, and NIC settings, ensuring all assets meet the Bank’s security control frameworks before being promoted to production.
  • Audit & Evidence Engineering: Maintain immutable, automated audit trails for every hardware configuration change, replacing manual asset records with real-time ‘state of the world’ reporting.

Key Skills & Experience:

  • Multi-Vendor Hardware Deep-Dive: Expert-level knowledge of Dell PowerEdge (iDRAC), HPE ProLiant (iLO), and Lenovo ThinkSystem (XCC) hardware architectures.
  • Protocol Mastery: Proficiency in hardware-level communication protocols, specifically Redfish API, IPMI, and SNMP for out-of-band management.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Significant experience with Ansible (Roles/Collections) or Terraform for automating physical infrastructure deployments.
  • DDI & Network Services: Working knowledge of DHCP, DNS, and IPAM (DDI) services and how they interact with PXE/iPXE boot sequences.
  • Scripting & Development: Strong Python or Bash skills for building custom integration wrappers and data transformation tools.
  • Operational Governance: Experience working in highly regulated or audit-driven environments, with a focus on automated evidence collection.
