Job Description

Site Agent/ Site Manager (Marine Civils) TMS Maritime We're hiring a Site Agent due to continued project demand and to strengthen on-site delivery across the UK. If you enjoy varied sites, real responsibility, and work that stands up to tide, weather and time, this is your next move. Why TMS Maritime: TMS Maritime is a UK marine construction and civil engineering contractor delivering coastal and inland infrastructure-think seawalls, quay piling, dredging, flood defences and harbour works-with a can-do approach and a strong focus on safety, quality and value. You'll be part of a business that's big enough to deliver major projects, and small enough that your contribution is visible and valued. The Role: As Site Agent, you'll take day-to-day ownership of site delivery-keeping people safe, works on programme, and quality right-first-time. Key responsibilities include: Leading daily site activity (labour, subcontractors, plant, materials), including logistics and traffic management. Running briefings and toolbox talks, maintaining a proactive HSE culture and completing inspections/audits. Managing technical delivery: drawings/specs, ITPs, inspections/testing, and resolving issues with the wider engineering team. Tracking progress, short-term planning, and producing clear daily/weekly reporting. Coordinating stakeholders on site (clients, suppliers, subcontractors) and supporting commercial teams with accurate site data. The marine difference: projects can be driven by tidal access, so you may work in blocks (for example, a working window, a break, then a second window). If you like problem-solving and planning around real-world constraints, you'll enjoy this. Location, hours & working pattern Location: Various sites across the UK, with occasional travel to TMS Maritime's Dawlish HQ (EX7) as needed. Hours: Core site hours are typically 07:3017:30, with longer days/ extended working hours possible depending on programme/tidal windows.

What you'll get: Up to 55,000 salary- Depending on experience Company car with personal use Paid overtime (including enhanced rates), with the opportunity to increase total earnings on busy programmes. Two bonus opportunities: an annual bonus (around 10%) plus a long-term incentive programme linked to business performance.
