About the Opportunity
Are you an experienced Civil Engineer ready to step into site management, or a proven Sub Agent looking for a clear pathway to becoming a Site Agent and Project Manager?
We are partnering with a highly respected, established regional civil engineering contractor to recruit a permanent Sub Agent. This business is widely recognised for its commitment to workforce development and long-term career progression. The successful candidate will join a supportive team environment, initially based from a regional office (c.2 months) to understand the company's frameworks, before taking on day-to-day operational management responsibilities on regional highways, infrastructure, and civil engineering schemes across the South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire areas.
The Role
Working either as the designated second-in-command on major schemes or directly managing smaller, fast-paced infrastructure packages, your responsibilities will include:
Operational Management: Efficiently managing on-site safety, quality control, cost management, and project timeline performance.
Technical Support: Interpreting and implementing engineering drawings and technical specifications accurately.
Planning & Programming: Utilising ASTA Powerproject software to track, update, and manage project schedules.
Commercial Awareness: Working closely with commercial teams to identify scope variations contractually and protect project margins.
Health & Safety: Upholding rigorous health, safety, and environmental standards on site, including the drafting and implementation of RAMS.
About You (Skills & Qualifications)
To succeed in this role, you must possess a background within the civil engineering sector.
We welcome applications from individuals with approximately 5 to 6 years of industry experience who can demonstrate:
A Degree in Civil Engineering, an NVQ Level 4 in Construction Management, or an equivalent technical qualification.
A valid CSCS Black Card (or a clear route to achieving it), SMSTS, and First Aid certification.
Practical experience and a solid understanding of civil engineering principles (muck-shifting, drainage, highways, or infrastructure works).
Familiarity with ASTA Powerproject or similar scheduling software.
A collaborative team ethic, strong self-motivation, and a genuine desire to develop your career toward Project Management.
What's on Offer?
Our client values talent and offers a flexible salary starting point between £40,000 and £50,000 per annum, open to negotiation for individuals who bring exceptional technical expertise. This is backed by a highly competitive permanent benefits package including a company vehicle or allowance, fuel card, pension, and structured corporate training.
