The Vacancy
Long-term work. Real ownership. Projects you can see the impact of.
About The Role
WGM Engineering, part of RSK Group, is looking for a Site Manager to join our Projects team on a permanent, full-time basis. This role will be based on-site at project sites within the central belt of Scotland. You will support project delivery across WGM’s growing UK water-sector portfolio. This is a business-critical opportunity to join a growing engineering business delivering essential infrastructure across the UK.
As Site Manager, you will take ownership of site-based construction activity across varied, multi-discipline projects, helping to deliver essential water-sector infrastructure safely, on time and to customer expectations. Using your understanding of electrical, mechanical, civil and construction, you will play a key role in bringing projects from planning through to construction and commissioning.
You’ll be focused on one site at a time, giving you the chance to build strong relationships, stay close to delivery and see the impact of your work first-hand. To support you in the role, you’ll be provided with a company van and fuel card, with a working pattern of 7.00am to 4.00pm Monday to Thursday, and 7.30am to 1.00pm on Fridays.
If you’re looking for a role where your decisions, leadership and site knowledge make a visible difference every day, this is an opportunity to take real ownership.
About The Team
WGM is growing through secured long-term frameworks across the UK water sector, delivering essential infrastructure that keeps communities connected and critical services running. For our site teams, that means varied work, long-term opportunity and the chance to take ownership in a business where people are known, trusted, and developed.
This is a strong time to join WGM if you want to be close to delivery, work with experienced delivery teams and build a career with a business that is investing in its people as it grows across the UK.
