Site Agent (Marine Civils)

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.

Why TMS Maritime:

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.

The Role:

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

Key responsibilities include:

• 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.

The marine difference : 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, hours & working pattern

• 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, 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.

What you ll get:

• 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 Site 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.

What we re looking for:

• 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 (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.

Desirable: First Aid at Work, Temporary Works Supervisor, and marine/civils contract knowledge (NEC/JCT).
