Site Agent / Sub-Agent

A major new electricity transmission substation is currently under construction in Aberdeenshire, forming part of one of Scotland’s largest ongoing energy infrastructure programmes.

To support delivery of the enabling civils phase, a Tier One contractor is looking to hire both a Site Agent and a Sub-Agent on a long-term temporary basis.

The immediate focus is a large-scale bulk earthworks package to construct the substation platform, including associated haul roads and drainage works. Delivery will be undertaken by a specialist earthworks subcontractor, so the requirement is for candidates experienced in managing subcontractors, maintaining programme performance, and driving safe, efficient site operations.

These are hands-on delivery roles suited to individuals comfortable operating out on site rather than purely administrating from the side-lines.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate

• Proven delivery of bulk earthworks schemes
• Strong subcontractor management and coordination
• Daily programme control and site leadership
• Ability to manage logistics, sequencing and site interfaces
• Previous substation, transmission or energy infrastructure experience advantageous

The project offers rare, long-term continuity for freelance professionals, with an immediate start and an anticipated 2–3 year duration.

Details

• Location: Aberdeenshire, Scotland
• Roles: Site Agent & Sub-Agent
• Start: Immediate
• Contract: PAYE only (Inside IR35)
• Rate: £400/day PAYE 
• Working week: Monday–Friday

This is an opportunity to join a nationally significant infrastructure scheme at an early stage, with genuine responsibility and long-term involvement.
