Job Description

Earthworks Construction Manager 

This is a rare opportunity to take a leading role on one of the UK's most significant earthworks schemes in decades.

We're working with a well-established civil engineering contractor, delivering a large-scale earthworks project in the South of England. With a huge earthworks programme already underway and plenty of programme left to run, this is a long-term, high-impact role where you'll have real ownership of delivery, not just oversight.

The Role
As Earthworks Construction Manager, you'll take full responsibility for the planning, coordination, and execution of a major earthworks package on a flagship infrastructure scheme. Reporting into senior leadership, you'll be at the centre of operations, driving performance, managing risk, and ensuring delivery stays on track.

This is a site-based role suited to someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and is confident leading from the front on complex, self-delivered works.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end delivery of large-scale earthworks operations

Take ownership of planning, sequencing, and production outputs

Ensure high standards across safety, quality, and environmental compliance

Manage programme milestones and proactively address risks to delivery

Maintain close integration with site teams to drive productivity and performance

Oversee cost control, forecasting, and commercial performance alongside project teams

Manage client relationships, ensuring clear communication and professional reporting

Handle contractual matters, maintaining compliance and protecting commercial position

Support and mentor junior engineers and site teams

What We're Looking For

Proven experience delivering large earthworks packages in a Project mgr, Contracts mgr, or Construction Manager capacity

Strong understanding of heavy plant, production rates, and self-delivery models

Experience working under NEC contracts (NEC4 preferred)

Background in Design & Build projects within civil engineering

Confident communicator with strong stakeholder and client management skills

Commercially aware, with the ability to manage cost and programme pressures

Degree/HND in Civil Engineering or equivalent experience

What's on Offer

Competitive salary with performance-related bonus

Company vehicle or car allowance

Private healthcare and life assurance

Pension scheme

25 days holiday + bank holidays

Long-term project pipeline and career progression opportunities

Lodging allowance where applicable
