The Site Agent Market
The Site Agent is the contractor’s person in charge of the site: programme, cost, subcontractors, client relationship and, very often, the Principal Contractor duties that CDM 2015 places on whoever holds them. That last point is why a poor appointment here is a legal exposure and not only a performance problem — the Principal Contractor owns the construction phase plan and the coordination of health and safety on site, and someone who has never genuinely discharged that cannot be given it. Pay tracks contract value and contract form rather than title: NEC4 target-cost and early contractor involvement schemes pay above fixed-price work. A car or allowance is near universal at this level and sits outside the base figure.
Typical Qualifications & Tickets
- Degree or HND in civil engineering
- SMSTS
- CSCS manager-grade card
- NEC4 and JCT administration
- CDM 2015 duty-holder competence

What is the difference between a Site Agent and a Sub-Agent?
The Site Agent is in charge of the site — programme, cost, subcontractors and the client relationship — and frequently holds the Principal Contractor duties under CDM 2015. A Sub-Agent runs a package or section within that, carrying commercial responsibility for their own scope. The agent is accountable for the whole; the sub-agent for a part of it.
What does a Site Agent earn in the UK?
Published market guidance puts a UK site agent at £48,000 to £65,000, with day rates of £275 to £350 where the engagement is contract. Contract value and contract form drive it more than years do, and a car or allowance is near universal on top. That is published market guidance compiled from UK sources, not a quotation and not Andrews Recruitment Group placement data.
Why does CDM 2015 matter when hiring a Site Agent?
Because the Principal Contractor owns the construction phase plan and the coordination of health and safety on site, and on most schemes the site agent is the person holding that. Appointing someone who cannot actually discharge it transfers a legal exposure, not just a delivery risk. ARG establishes which duty-holder appointments a candidate has personally held.
