Do you have proven experience managing plant, fleet, and site facilities on a large-scale construction or infrastructure project? Can you demonstrate successfully negotiating and managing plant or property agreements to deliver cost and operational efficiencies? Would you like to take full ownership of the operational backbone of a landmark renewable energy project and directly influence how it is delivered day-to-day?
The Opportunity
Behind every major infrastructure project is a complex operational engine that keeps everything moving, this is your chance to lead it. As part of a major hydro-electric power scheme in the Scottish Highlands, our client is scaling up site operations to support a growing workforce, expanding facilities, and increasingly complex logistics. This has created a requirement for an experienced Plant Manager to take ownership of the project’s plant, fleet, accommodation, and site infrastructure strategy. This is far more than a traditional plant role; you will be central to ensuring that people, equipment, facilities, and logistics are seamlessly aligned to support safe and efficient project delivery.
Your duties and responsibilities will be:
- Manage the leasing and administration of land, properties, and site facilities required for project delivery
- Oversee the smooth operation of offices, accommodation camps, and associated site infrastructure
- Manage batching plants, crushing compounds, car parks, and associated operational areas
- Oversee the vehicle fleet, ensuring legal compliance, maintenance, and operational efficiency
- Source and manage plant hire agreements, ensuring best value, appropriate terms, and local engagement where possible
- Negotiate with landlords, suppliers, and stakeholders to secure favourable commercial arrangements
- Ensure all plant, vehicles, and facilities meet legal, safety, and operational requirements
- Coordinate with internal teams and supply chain partners to support project logistics
- Drive continuous improvement in plant utilisation, cost efficiency, and operational performance
You will have the following qualifications & experience:
- Strong experience in plant management, fleet management, or site operations within construction or infrastructure projects
- Proven experience managing plant hire, vehicle fleets, and operational logistics
- Knowledge of property and land lease agreements (particularly within Scotland or the UK)
- Strong negotiation skills with suppliers, landlords, and service providers
- Experience ensuring legal compliance across plant, fleet, and facilities
- Ability to manage multiple operational streams within a complex project environment
It’s great if you also have the following:
- Experience working on large-scale infrastructure or energy projects
- Knowledge of batching plants, crushing operations, or heavy construction plant
- Experience managing accommodation or large workforce site facilities
- Familiarity with remote or rural project environments
- Strong commercial awareness relating to plant hire and operational costs
- Experience working with local supply chains and suppliers
The setting for the role:
This is a site-based role within a major hydro-electric project in the Scottish Highlands, operating across multiple operational areas including compounds, accommodation camps, offices, and logistics hubs. The role requires a highly organised, hands-on approach, with strong stakeholder engagement across the project and supply chain.
