Job description

This is a great opportunity to join a family-run Tier One civil engineering contractor. The company offers a non-bureaucratic working environment along with the chance to work on larger, more complex, and prestigious civil engineering projects.

As a Site Agent, you will be working on a major infrastructure-led regeneration project located in central York. The project involves extensive coordination with multiple third parties, including Network Rail.

You will be:
  • Developing the construction programme and monitor weekly targets.

  • Owning HSEQS protocols on site.
  • Maintaining quality control procedures. 
  • Ensuring that the TWR is in place and is up to date. 
  • Monitoring onsite energy and waste data. 
  • Managing change and any events that have the potential to impact the effective delivery.
  • Driving and motivating your team to meet the pace of the project.
  • Coordinating and prioritising the sequence of activities on site.

To be successful in this role, you will:
  • Hold a relevant qualification in Civil Engineering (HNC, HND, or Degree).
  • Have significant site-based experience on civil engineering projects.
  • Have experience of working to Network Rail processes and specifications.
  • Have a valid CSCS Card and either SSSTS or SMSTS.

On offer is a salary of £65,000 - £70,000 per annum, a car allowance, DC pension, private medical insurance, 26 days holiday etc.
