We are currently looking for an experienced Structures Site Agent to join a Tier 1 contractor delivering a major infrastructure scheme based around Oxford.

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. The role offers a long term pipeline of work and the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a substantial structures package rather than simply overseeing individual site activities.

You will be responsible for the delivery of a circa £35m structures package, including a 500m viaduct, major reinforced concrete structures and bridge works.

The Role

• Take ownership of the day to day delivery of a circa £35m structures package, including major bridge, viaduct and reinforced concrete works
• Plan and sequence the works, developing short term programmes and lookaheads to ensure activities are properly resourced and coordinated
• Manage and coordinate specialist subcontractors, ensuring works are delivered safely, to programme and in accordance with the required quality standards
• 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
• Strong subcontractor management experience
• 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.
