Ready to take the next step in your civil engineering career?

If you’ve built your career from Site Engineer through to Section Engineer or Sub Agent and are now ready to step into a Site Agent position, this could be an excellent opportunity to take on greater responsibility across a strong pipeline of civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

With a growing workload across Scotland, particularly within the West of Scotland, this is a chance to join an established team delivering a range of significant infrastructure schemes.

The Role

As Site Agent, you’ll play a key role in the successful delivery of projects, working closely with the Project Manager and wider delivery team.

You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day management of works, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, commercially and to the required quality standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing site teams through the delivery lifecycle

Leading health & safety implementation and ensuring compliance

Managing programmes, risks and opportunities

Coordinating engineering, design and construction activities

Managing subcontractors, materials, plant and resources

Supporting monthly cost and value reporting

Managing change and identifying value engineering opportunities

Managing temporary works and supporting TWC/TWS activities

Liaising with clients, consultants and key stakeholders

Attending pre-start, progress and contract meetings

Ensuring effective project reporting and document control

Supporting the production of handover and completion documentation

Why Consider It?

This is more than simply another Site Agent position. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, work alongside experienced construction professionals and continue developing your career within a business with a strong pipeline of civil engineering work.

The current workload is particularly focused across the West of Scotland, including major infrastructure frameworks around Clydeport and Faslane, meaning regular overnight stays are not expected. There may be occasional travel and accommodation requirements depending on the project and programme.

The package includes:

£50,000 – £60,000 salary

Company car or car allowance

26 days annual leave + 9 bank/public holidays

We’re particularly interested in civil engineering professionals who have progressed through a traditional delivery route, such as:

You should have experience within civil engineering and infrastructure, ideally gained with a Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractor.

You’ll ideally have:

Strong civil engineering and infrastructure experience
