This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Site Agent looking for long term freelance work, with the potential to earn significantly more than a typical permanent Site Agent position while working on a major infrastructure project.

• Work closely with the Project Manager and site engineering team to manage construction sequencing, design information, temporary works and technical queries
• Monitor progress against programme, identify potential delays and constraints, and put recovery measures in place where required
• Coordinate interfaces between the structures package and wider highways, earthworks and infrastructure works
• Oversee quality, RAMS, ITPs, inspections and construction records throughout the delivery of the works
• Lead and manage the site team, ensuring clear direction, communication and accountability across the package

About You

• Proven experience as a Site Agent, Sub Agent, Package Manager or similar within major civils or infrastructure
• Strong experience delivering major structures, bridges or viaducts
• A proven track record of planning and running construction works, with the ability to take ownership of a package from planning through to delivery
• Experience working on major infrastructure projects with a Tier 1 contractor or major civils contractor
• Good understanding of construction programmes, sequencing, temporary works and quality requirements
• Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple interfaces and stakeholders
• Relevant civil engineering qualification or equivalent experience

The Opportunity

• Long term freelance position with a major Tier 1 contractor
• Opportunity to earn strong freelance rates over a sustained period
• circa £35m structures package with significant bridge and viaduct works
• Genuine ownership and responsibility for the delivery of the package
• Major infrastructure project with a substantial programme of works
• Oxford based project

If you are an experienced Structures Site Agent who is looking for a long term freelance opportunity and wants the responsibility and earning potential that comes with running a major structures package, this could be a strong opportunity.
