The context says that any such work that cannot be performed "am Standort" (darüber hinausgehende Arbeiten) will be performed "im Werk des AN bzw. durch UAN (Standort bzw. Werk).
Assuming UAN is subcontractor, would "Standort bzw. Werk" mean "on-site or back-to-base", or would it mean "at the subcontractor's site or factory/plant"?

... any such work that cannot be performed at the (client's) location (darüber hinausgehende Arbeiten) will be performed at the contractor's plant or by subcontractors respectively (location or plant respectively).
That's how I read it - although it would be helpful to have a full German sentence. I've only guessed that the first occurrence of "am Standort" is the client's (Auftraggeber) location because your context doesn't say so.

On second thoughts, "am Standort" could, of course, also mean "on site", i.e. not the client's or contractor's location at all but the "Aufenthaltsort" of the aircraft in need of repair/overhaul.
More context is needed to be sure.

on site / subcontractor's plant
Werk des Auftragnehmers = plant of contractor
UAN = subcontractor, so he does the job either where the plane or whatever is located (possibly at the facilities of the client/principal or in the subcontractor's plant

Note from asker:
| OK. I think your explanation covers just about every possible option, without actually specifying what precisely is meant here. |

Nastassja K
: I agree with 'on site', though prefer 'work plant' or 'factory' for the latter

location or factory
thats what I would use

cannot be performed on location and all other work will be carried out at the contractors or subcontractors factory - sorry thought it was obvious

I would assume that on-location refers to the ordering party or customer and that the factory of the contractor or sub-c is somewhere else - do you have the whole sentence, it might be easier then?

Note from asker:
| Sure, but whose location or factory, the customer's, the contractor's or the subcontractor's? |
| So is the Standort in "am Standort" and the Standort in "Standort bzw. Werk" one and the same location, or are they referring to the customer's location on the one hand and the contractor's or subcontractor's location on the other? (Sorry if I'm splitting hairs, but if I get this wrong it could end up costing the customer or the contractor big bucks! |
