Site engineers coordinate day-to-day technical work on a construction site — reading drawings, supervising execution against specification, and liaising between site teams and project management.
Screening checks relevant site experience against the stated discipline and project scale — a site engineer's background on a small residential project doesn't necessarily transfer to a large industrial one, so we verify the type and scale of prior projects, not just years in the title.
Employers typically specify the relevant engineering discipline (civil, structural, MEP) and the minimum years of site experience required for the project scale.
