Bit more info, there are two of them at each end of the hole.

Perhaps some sort of security device PIR type thing.

Mayby a new Google Hole Digger ?

A modern day

First thing I thought was "a hi-vis TARDIS" (-:

How big are they? It's difficult to judge scale in the photo. Couple of feet high?

They seem to be sitting on tripod of some kind.

Say 600mm high, 400mm diameter.

The excavation may have high voltage cables exposed. I'm erring towards an alarm of some kind.

Monitored, wireless, and motion sensitive security camera
We are using them on a lot of our sites now to secure plant and equipment without having the need for men sitting in cabins 24-7, they seem to work quite well
We used to use the JCB Camwatch system but these are more compact and battery powered not generator

Legend
That's why, as the OP said in the 4th post, they are used in (at least) pairs
Also approach it and it makes a rather unpleasant noise that would alert anyone in the area that something was going off
