We’re hiring a dynamic Sub Agent to lead mobilisation works for the NZT Power, Capture and Compression Project based in Redcar and Cleveland.

What You’ll Be Doing
Financial Management
- Identify changes in drawings, specifications, works information, or site conditions and their impacts.
- Understand commercial/contractual implications (changes, delays, disruptions).
- Maintain records for compensation events and cost recovery.
- Control the section budget, tracking costs against planned outputs and resources.
- Review weekly costs, labour, plant, materials, and subcontractor productivity.
- Provide accurate, timely records to the commercial team.
Organisational Leadership
- Manage Section Engineers, Site Engineers, supervisors, and subcontractors.
- Coordinate with Sub Agents, package leads, engineering, commercial, planning, quality, and H&S teams.
- Ensure clear risk communication, prioritisation, and constraint awareness.
- Support skill development for junior engineers and staff.
