  • Health, Safety & Environment: Lead and maintain a strong safety culture on site. Write, review, and brief Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), and ensure strict adherence to CDM 2015 standards.

  • Commercial Support: Manage plant, material, and labour allocations efficiently. Track site variations, record delays, and collaborate with the commercial team to monitor section costs.

Requirements
  • Highways & Infrastructure Experience: Proven track record working as a Sub Agent or Senior Engineer on heavy civil engineering projects, specifically within a live highway or major infrastructure environment.

  • Technical Packages: Strong experience overseeing deep drainage installations, earthworks, culverts, and structural concrete packages.
