Site Agent

Site Agent - Civils Infrastructure

Location:

Cambridge | Permanent

We're working with an established civil engineering contractor who is looking to bring an experienced Site Agent into the team for a major infrastructure project in the Cambridge area.

The scheme involves a good mix of highways, Section 278 works, roads, drainage, earthworks and associated infrastructure, so we're looking for someone who is comfortable managing busy civils packages and keeping things moving on site.

As Site Agent, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of the works, working closely with the Project Manager, engineering team, subcontractors and commercial team.

You’ll be involved in:

• Managing highways and Section 278 works
• Overseeing roads, drainage, earthworks and utilities
• Managing site operations and programme
• Coordinating engineers, supervisors and subcontractors
• Driving health & safety and quality on site
• Planning works and managing short-term programmes
• RAMS, permits and site documentation
• Managing interfaces between different work packages
• Keeping an eye on programme, costs and productivity
• Client meetings and progress reporting
• Identifying and resolving issues before they impact delivery

You’ll ideally come from a civil engineering / highways background, with solid experience delivering Section 278 works and infrastructure projects.

Experience across highways, Section 278 works, roads, drainage, earthworks, utilities and general infrastructure would be ideal.

Previous experience working as a Site Agent or Senior Site Agent for a recognised civil engineering contractor would be a strong advantage.

You’ll also need:

• Strong site management experience
• Good technical understanding of highways and civil engineering
• SMSTS
• CSCS
• First Aid
• Full UK driving licence

This is a permanent role with a contractor that has a strong pipeline of work across the region.

They’re looking for someone who wants a long-term position rather than simply moving from project to project, with opportunities to progress towards Senior Agent / Project Manager level as the business continues to grow.
