Are you a Site Agent looking to take a leading role on a major infrastructure project in Cumbria?
This is an excellent opportunity for a delivery-focused Site Agent to join a complex self-delivery scheme with a contractor that genuinely values technical capability, ownership, and high-quality delivery.
A leading UK civil engineering contractor is seeking a Site Agent with a strong self-delivery background to help drive a major programme of works. The business is known for delivering complex infrastructure projects through its own directly employed workforce, backed by strong engineering capability, disciplined planning, and a culture built around accountability and delivery. They are growing fast, securing long-term frameworks and high-value civil engineering packages across infrastructure, energy, highways, water, and T&D. They invest heavily in their people, promote from within, and give Site Agents real authority to influence delivery rather than simply supervise it. This role suits someone who thrives in a hands-on contracting environment, understands the realities of site execution, and brings structure, pace, and clarity to multidisciplinary teams.
As Site Agent, you will be a key driver of day-to-day delivery, ensuring works are planned, coordinated, and executed safely, efficiently, and to specification. Working closely with engineers, planners, commercial teams, and site delivery leads, you'll maintain programme alignment, manage change on the ground, and ensure the project progresses in line with cost, time, and quality expectations.
