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.
