Lead the Delivery of Major Energy Infrastructure Projects

Are you an experienced Site Agent looking for your next challenge within the energy and infrastructure sector?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a major infrastructure framework, supporting the delivery of significant high-voltage transmission and substation projects across Scotland.

With multiple major projects underway, this is an opportunity to take a leading role in the delivery of complex infrastructure works while developing your career within a well-established and supportive project environment.

The roles are predominantly site-based, making them ideal for experienced site professionals who enjoy being at the heart of project delivery and taking ownership of day-to-day operations.

You’ll be responsible for coordinating site activities, managing resources and working closely with project teams, subcontractors and other stakeholders to ensure works progress effectively.

We are particularly interested in Site Agents with experience in earthworks, although strong candidates with relevant civil engineering and infrastructure experience will also be considered.

• Excellent organisational and problem‑solving abilities
• Experience with earthworks would be advantageous
• The flexibility to work predominantly on site and travel as required

Working Away From Home

Given the location of the projects, these are predominantly site-based opportunities and may involve working away from home.

Support is available through accommodation and/or subsistence, alongside other policies designed to support employees working away from home, subject to eligibility based on your permanent home address.

What’s on Offer?

Alongside the opportunity to work on major energy infrastructure projects, the package includes a range of benefits designed to support both your professional and personal life, including:
