Site Agent

Site Agent (Marine Civils) – TMS Maritime

We’re hiring a Site Agent due to continued project demand and to strengthen on-site delivery across the UK. If you enjoy varied sites, real responsibility, and work that stands up to tide, weather and time, this is your next move.

TMS Maritime is a UK marine construction and civil engineering contractor delivering coastal and inland infrastructure – think seawalls, quay piling, dredging, flood defences and harbour works – with a “can‑do” approach and a strong focus on safety, quality and value. You’ll be part of a business that’s big enough to deliver major projects, and small enough that your contribution is visible and valued.

As Site Agent, you’ll take day‑to‑day ownership of site delivery – keeping people safe, works on programme, and quality right‑first‑time.

• Leading daily site activity (labour, subcontractors, plant, materials), including logistics and traffic management.
• Running briefings and toolbox talks, maintaining a proactive HSE culture and completing inspections/audits.
• Managing technical delivery: drawings/specs, ITPs, inspections/testing, and resolving issues with the wider engineering team.
• Tracking progress, short‑term planning, and producing clear daily/weekly reporting.
• Coordinating stakeholders on site (clients, suppliers, subcontractors) and supporting commercial teams with accurate site data.

Projects can be driven by tidal access, so you may work in blocks (for example, a working window, a break, then a second window). If you like problem‑solving and planning around real‑world constraints, you’ll enjoy this.

• Location:
  
  Various sites across the UK, with occasional travel to TMS Maritime’s Dawlish HQ (EX7) as needed.
• Hours:
  
  Core site hours are typically 07:30–17:30, with longer days/extended working hours possible depending on programme/tidal windows.
• Overtime:
  Paid overtime with enhanced rates (including weekend working where required), creating strong earning potential.
• Travel:
  This is a site‑based role and will include overnight stays depending on project location.

• Up to £55,000 salary – depending on experience
• Company car with personal use
• Paid overtime (including enhanced rates), with the opportunity to increase total earnings on busy programmes.
• Two bonus opportunities: an annual bonus (around 10%) plus a long‑term incentive programme linked to business performance.
• Holiday: 23 days annual leave (plus bank holidays)
• Progression:
  Potential to progress into a Project Manager position and onward into broader project/contract leadership as you grow.
• Varied, meaningful work: projects that protect coastlines, maintain vital infrastructure, and keep ports/harbours operating.

• HNC/HND or Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management (or similar).
• CSCS (Site Manager/Supervisor level) and SMSTS.
• 3–5+ years’ site management/supervisory experience post qualification (civil engineering or marine infrastructure ideal).
• Confidence leading people on site – clear communication, steady decision‑making, and the ability to build respect with varied teams.
• Full UK driving licence – maximum 6 points.
