Sub Agent / Site Agent / Assistant Project Manager Civils, Highways and Infrastructure
Location: Didcot, Oxfordshire
Suitable locations: Didcot, Abingdon, Oxford, Wantage, Wallingford, Newbury, Reading, Bicester, Swindon, Henley-on-Thames, Witney, Aylesbury, High Wycombe and surrounding areas
Salary: £50,000 - £65,000 plus package
Package: PAYE role, pension, commercial vehicle and fuel card or car allowance plus mileage, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, 2-week Christmas shutdown, training and long-term progression
We are recruiting for a Sub Agent or Site Agent to join a privately owned groundworks and civil engineering subcontractor on a live scheme in Didcot. The business has been around for a long time, has steady relationships with Tier 1 contractors, and works across non-residential civils, highways, infrastructure, foundations, drainage, roads, groundworks and site preparation projects. The work is varied, usually up to around £4m in value, and the company still has a smaller, family-run feel rather than feeling too corporate.
This would suit a Sub Agent who has worked up from an engineering background, or someone in an Assistant Project Manager / Project Manager-type role who still enjoys being close to the work on site. You will be working closely with the wider project team, subcontractors and client representatives, managing progress, programme, quality, health and safety, materials, records and day-to-day site activity.
