Section Engineer
The Section Engineer will join the Victoria Road Crossover Box (VRCB) team to initial support the delivery the VRCB diaphragm walling and piling sub-contract packages. Although there is one Section Engineer position on the GW6 baseline, it is not possible for that resource to deliver the piling packages while undertaking the level of planning of the construction of the VRCB required during this period. In addition, due to the splitting of the d-wall and piling package between two differing sub-contractors, there is a demanding interface to manage. The two packages are critical to the VRCB/Northolt Tunnels East critical path.
Upon the completion of the piling activities the Section Engineer will stay within the VRCB team assisting in the delivery of the VRCB and Victoria Road Ancillary Shaft to manage and drive the engineering aspects of a section of the works, developing and reporting of section programmes and budgets and ensuring that the works are conducted in accordance with the project requirements including health and safety.
