Site Agent - Bridge Refurbishment

Duration: 9 Months Minimum
Project Value: £2.5 Million
Type: Contract / Full Time

The Role

Morson is currently recruiting for an experienced Site Agent to oversee a £2.5m bridge refurbishment scheme in Poole.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong background in highways, civil engineering and bridge structures to take ownership of site delivery.

All works on the project will be subcontracted, so the successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating and managing subcontractors, rather than overseeing a direct labour workforce.

A key part of the role will involve overseeing specialist subcontractors undertaking paint blasting works to the existing bridge, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with the project programme.

Youll act as the main point of contact on site, managing client relationships and driving the project through to successful completion.

- Acting as the main on-site point of contact for the client.
- Planning and sequencing works, managing look-ahead programmes and coordinating resources.
- Overseeing traffic management and interfaces with the live highway network.
- Monitoring quality, completing site inspections and maintaining accurate site records.
- Identifying potential risks, raising early warnings and managing changes that could impact delivery.
- Maintaining high standards of health, safety and environmental compliance.

What Were Looking For

- Proven experience as a Site Agent or Site Manager within highways and civil engineering.
- Strong experience working on bridge or structures projects.
- Experience managing and coordinating subcontractors on site.
- Understanding of bridge refurbishment works and associated construction activities.
- **Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) qualification - essential.**
- SMSTS and CSCS.
- Strong client-facing and communication skills.
- Experience working with NEC contracts would be advantageous.
- Full UK driving licence.

- December 2026 start.
- Opportunity to take ownership of a specialist highways and structures scheme.
