Job Description: Site Supervisor, Glasgow G51
Temporary Staff Agency is partnering with a major contractor on a significant infrastructure and development project within the Glasgow G51 postcode. We require a pragmatic, hands-on Site Supervisor to assume immediate control of day-to-day site operations, ensuring safety, quality, and productivity targets are met. This is a pivotal role where you will be the direct link between project management and the on-site workforce.
This position is ideal for a supervisor who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is looking for stability through a temporary role with a strong view to becoming permanent. Our client values proactive leadership and a solutions-focused approach. As your dedicated recruitment agency, we ensure a streamlined process from registration to placement, handling all compliance and payroll, so you can focus on the job.

Daily Site Management & Coordination: Directly supervise all on-site staff and subcontractors, coordinating daily tasks, managing labour resources, and ensuring the timely delivery of work packages in line with the project programme.
-

Frequently Asked Questions: Site Supervisor Jobs
Got questions about applying for Site Supervisor roles through an agency in Glasgow? We've compiled the most common queries below.
How quickly can I start a Site Supervisor role through TSA?
For candidates with all certifications (CSCS, SMSTS) readily available and a clear CV, we can often facilitate a start within 24-48 hours. The process involves a quick registration call, document verification, and a client interview which can sometimes be conducted on the same day. We specialise in urgent staffing solutions to meet critical project timelines.
What are the main differences between temp and perm Site Supervisor roles?
Temporary roles offer flexibility, variety, and a foot in the door with top companies. You are employed by the agency (us), who manage your payroll, holiday pay, and pension. Permanent roles offer traditional employment benefits directly from the client. The key advantage of temping with TSA is the high potential for temp-to-perm conversion. Many of our clients use temporary placements as an extended interview to find permanent staff. Our guide on temporary staffing solutions explains this model in detail.
Do I need my own PPE and tools for these Site Supervisor positions?
For most supervisory roles, you are expected to provide standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety boots, hi-vis vest, and a hard hat. Specialist PPE or major plant/tools are typically provided by the client. We will always clarify the specific requirements for each role before you start. It's a similar principle for other skilled trades we place, such as a Crane Operator, where specific certification (CPCS) is mandatory but the machinery is client-supplied.
Can TSA help me if my CSCS or SMSTS card is about to expire?
Absolutely. We strongly advise renewing your cards well in advance. However, we can often place you in roles while your renewal is in process, provided you have proof of booking for the refresher course. We can also point you towards trusted local training providers to get your certifications updated promptly. Maintaining valid tickets is non-negotiable for site safety and is as critical for a Supervisor as it is for any operative.
