Costain have won extensive work across the water sector this year to support the AMP 8 investment cycle. We have been appointed by United Utilities as one of 7 partners to the Enterprise, delivering £5.5bn of projects in the Asset Management Period 8 (AMP8) between 2025 – 2030, and AMP 9 (2030 – 2035). Our scope is to provide project management, design, construction and commissioning services on design and build schemes throughout the North West and Cumbria region covered by United Utilities. Projects vary in value, covering both infrastructure and non-infrastructure assets on water and wastewater sites with wider Enterprise partners

The Senior Site Agent will support the delivery of projects allocated to Costain and ranging in value from £12m - £150m in this first wave. You will work across the project lifecycle from concept, ECI, delivery and through handover and will be leading our design and delivery team in engagement with site operational teams and supply chain partners (on one or multiple sites). You will be developing our construction strategies and programmes and ensuring we are setting up and delivering safely, to quality, time and budget

The role will be site based, at Glebe Road and/or Hawkshead near Windermere, Cumbria

At Costain, we believe diverse perspectives drive innovation. If you’re passionate about making a positive impact and think you can bring value to our team, we’d love to hear from you even if you don’t tick every box. Your unique skills and experiences could be exactly what we need.
