Job description

Site Supervisor – Dundee & Surrounding Areas

£19.90 - £21.90 / hour + benefits + Excellent Work-Life Balance

A Tier 1 contractor is recruiting a Site Supervisor to join our growing Dundee team. If you're tired of being away from home constantly, this role offers something different—you'll be home 9 out of 10 nights while still earning great money when travel is required.

The Role

Supervise a team of 2-3 operatives on Scottish Water and civil projects

Work on the tools alongside your team

Handle daily diaries, brief RAMS, record site progress, and liaise with the Dundee office

Currently requires some travel / staying away, but transitioning to more local work as projects increase in the area

What We're Looking For

• Triple STS / SMSTS qualified supervisor
• Strong civil engineering experience (preferred over pure Scottish Water background)
• Willing to work away when required
• Ideally based in Dundee or within 50-mile radius (Brechin, Forfar, Stonehaven area)
• Experience with smaller contractors preferred over tier one backgrounds

What You'll Get

• Hourly rate: £19.90-21.90 (on the books, not freelance)
• Genuine work-life balance—flexibility for family commitments
• Training and development opportunities
• Join a company where average length of service is 20+ years

About the Tier 1 contractor: We're a well-established contractor working across Scottish Water and civil projects. Unlike renewables contractors that keep you away for days, we prioritise getting our people home. When you need to leave early to pick up the kids, that's genuinely supported—no red tape, just common sense.
