Good short term experience in the land development sector for those coming fresh out of university.The good thingsAs a site engineer, you are given a work vehicle, but fuel is obtained from site. The working hours are dependant on the time of the year. The experience for a graduate or junior engineer is good coming out of university. Chance to work as a junior supervisor from a site engineering role. Company uses old methods for road construction, but a good foundation for those starting in the role.
The challengesThe work can be fairly repetitive at times. You may be required to drive long distances to site, or in the opposite direction from home, even though there is a company project near your area. Not being challenged mentally. Doing physical work on the field, such as penetrometer testing.
