We are seeking an experienced Tunnel Coordinator to support the safe, efficient and timely delivery of tunnelling and associated underground construction activities. Working closely with project managers, site supervisors, engineers, subcontractors and specialist suppliers, you will help coordinate daily operations and ensure that work is completed in accordance with approved designs, construction programmes, quality standards and health and safety requirements.
Key responsibilities will include coordinating tunnelling activities, site resources, access arrangements, shift plans and interfaces between underground and surface works. You will monitor progress against programme milestones, identify potential delays or operational constraints, and support the implementation of practical solutions. The role will involve reviewing method statements, risk assessments, permits and inspection records; maintaining accurate documentation; attending progress and coordination meetings; and communicating updates clearly to relevant stakeholders. You will also assist with coordinating plant, materials and deliveries, monitoring subcontractor performance, supporting quality inspections, and ensuring that environmental controls and site procedures are consistently followed. Where required, you will contribute to investigations, reporting and the resolution of technical or logistical issues.
Applicants should have proven experience in tunnelling, underground construction, civil engineering or a closely related environment, together with a strong understanding of construction coordination and site-based delivery. Knowledge of tunnelling methods, temporary works, ground conditions, underground services and relevant health and safety legislation would be advantageous. You will need excellent organisational and communication skills, the ability to prioritise competing demands, and confidence working with teams across multiple disciplines. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to make sound decisions in a dynamic environment are essential. Relevant technical, construction or engineering qualifications, along with appropriate site safety certification, would be beneficial. This role may require flexible working patterns, including shifts or occasional night work, depending on project requirements.
