You will be responsible for maintaining strong professional relationships, ensuring expectations are managed and met, and chairing or contributing to site meetings where progress, risks, and actions are clearly communicated. Reporting and governance responsibilities include producing accurate site reports covering progress, cost, programme, and risk, as well as maintaining robust site records in line with contractual requirements. You will ensure transparent communication across all project teams and stakeholders throughout delivery. About You You will be an experienced Site Agent or Senior Site Manager with strong exposure to civil engineering delivery within infrastructure environments, ideally within utilities or regulated sectors. Crucially, you will demonstrate a strong balance between site leadership and project management capability, with proven ability to manage programme, cost, and contract performance rather than purely operational delivery. You will have a strong understanding of CDM Regulations and civil engineering delivery principles, along with solid experience of NEC contracts including early warnings and compensation events. You will be confident managing cost, forecasting project performance, and supporting commercial outcomes while maintaining strong programme awareness and contributing to planning and delivery sequencing. You will also have experience leading multidisciplinary site teams and subcontractors, supported by excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. Qualifications Applicants should hold a Degree or HNC in Civil Engineering or equivalent experience, along with a valid CSCS card. SMSTS or IOSH Managing Safely certification is required, and a Temporary Works Coordinator qualification is desirable. Desirable Experience It would be advantageous to hold Chartered status such as CEng or MICE, along with working knowledge of Primavera P6. Experience operating within major infrastructure frameworks or alliance environments, as well as strong NEC contract administration exposure within tier-one contractor settings, would also be beneficial. Required Experience The role requires proven experience delivering civil engineering projects within infrastructure environments, with strong involvement in managing site delivery alongside programme, cost, and contract responsibilities. You will have demonstrable experience working within NEC contract frameworks, including change management and reporting processes, and a strong ability to lead site teams while maintaining commercial and programme focus. Experience coordinating subcontractors, ensuring efficient site delivery performance, and applying quality assurance systems including ITPs and site governance processes is also essential.
