Site Engineer / Site Agent (Civils) | 10–12 Month Contract

Location: Montrose, Scotland
Rate: £350–£400 per day + Accommodation if staying away from home

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Site Engineer looking to take on increased responsibility, or a hands-on Site Agent who enjoys being involved in both the technical and operational sides of a project.

We're seeking someone to join a 10–12 month civil engineering project involving open-cut trenching, pipeline installation, and chamber construction. This is a well-structured scheme with a relatively small site team, offering a varied role where you'll have genuine influence over day-to-day operations without the pressures often associated with larger, heavily resourced projects.

The Role

You'll be responsible for supporting the delivery of the works through a combination of:

Site engineering and setting out
Supervising site activities and subcontractors
Planning and coordinating daily operations
Ensuring health & safety standards are maintained
Managing records, progress reporting and quality documentation
Liaising with project stakeholders and the site team
This position would particularly suit an engineer who enjoys taking ownership of projects and is keen to develop their management and leadership experience.

Requirements

Proven experience on civil engineering projects
Strong background in drainage, pipelines, utilities or similar infrastructure works
SMSTS – essential
First Aid certification – preferred
Ability to manage site activities while remaining technically involved

What's on Offer?

£350–£400 per day Accommodation provided if staying away from home
Immediate start available
Long-term 10–12 month contract
Interesting infrastructure project with a supportive team environment
Opportunity to take on broader responsibilities and make a real impact on project delivery

If you're available at short notice and interested in a role that offers a mix of engineering, supervision and project management responsibilities, we'd be keen to hear from you.
