Job description

An established civil engineering and highways contractor is recruiting a Site Agent to plan and deliver local authority projects up to £3m on behalf of East Sussex CC. The business has a strong presence in the South East delivering projects up to £30m as a main contractor for the likes of National Highways and Network Rail as well as their continuous workstream through different frameworks.

You will join a framework which offers a mixture of projects and longevity in the area, keeping you close to home allowing for personal and professional development, with structured support from the business. The framework's projects will consist of reconfiguring road layouts, bridge maintenance/replacements, drainage upgrades, public realm works and more.

You will lead projects by managing costs, quality and programme whilst maintaining a positive relationship with the client. The contractor has a large directly employed workforce, therefore experience of self-delivery of similar size highways projects is favourable.

Duties will include:

1. Writing risk assessments and method statements
2. Working with the commercial team to manage change and EWN
3. Overall responsibility of health and safety
4. Managing design and quality of the project
5. Ensuring the project meets deadlines by managing the programme
