SITE SUPERVISOR
Context For one of our clients, a leading international power cable manufacturer and contractor, we are looking for a Site Supervisor to join their onshore installation team on a major grid corridor project in Germany. The team delivers large-scale HV and EHV cable installation scopes, from civil works and cable laying to jointing, across several active construction sites. As the primary field-level authority, you will supervise day-to-day operations on site, with a particular focus on jointing quality and subcontractor coordination, and act as the on-site interface between civil works contractors, cable laying subcontractors and jointing teams. This is a fully mobile, site-based role. You will report to the Site Manager. What you will do
• Oversee daily onshore cable installation activities, ensuring subcontractors and teams work to approved drawings, method statements and schedules

• Manage and coordinate small teams and subcontractors in a fast-paced construction environment
• Monitor cable jointing activities, ensuring high-quality workmanship, cleanliness and strict adherence to jointing procedures
• Identify and escalate quality or technical deviations before they impact the project
• Provide the Site Manager with detailed daily progress reports on activities, bottlenecks, delays and technical issues
• Maintain on-site records: material tracking, daily logs and as-built data
• Support the Site Manager in coordinating civil works contractors, cable laying subcontractors and jointing teams
• Liaise locally with contractors,
authorities and site personnel
• Enforce site safety and environmental rules, ensure correct use of PPE and report any HSE incident or unsafe condition immediately What you bring
• Technical degree or qualification in civil, electrical or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent site supervision experience
• Solid hands-on field experience in civil works and onshore cable installation site supervision
• Proven ability to supervise subcontractors and coordinate multi-discipline teams on active construction sites

• Ability to read and apply technical drawings, method statements and execution plans
• Experience keeping daily site logs and reporting technical updates clearly to management
• HSE knowledge applicable to active onshore construction sites
• HV / EHV cable installation experience is a strong plus; familiarity with jointing procedures and previous work on German grid corridor or transmission cable projects is a plus
• Eligible to work in Germany, with a valid driving licence
• Full mobility for extended periods on site across Germany
• Fluent English, written and spoken; Italian is a strong plus
• Authority on site and a proactive, solution-oriented approach
