The Opportunity
We're currently recruiting for an Assistant Site Manager to join our Midlands Division, on our Bridgnorth Edge development in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
Key Responsibilities
- To carve yourself a career as a quality Assistant Site Manager with Crest, you’ll be proactive and supportive to your manager and the subcontractors who supply you. It is paramount that you are a strong relationship builder to ensure quality workmanship and collaborative problem-solving when faced with challenges and preventing reoccurrences.
- You will work closely with other departments in the region as part of the development and construction phases, this is not an isolated role but a key central point in the delivery of quality homes. Your subcontractors will need guidance and direction so that you can work together to reach your targets and deliver an outstanding final product.
- The role requires a level of resilience and drive to deliver to the build programme both on budget and to deadlines. You will be naturally motivated to do so and will never compromise on finishing of the product.
- Working for Crest means delivering house types where each plot may present new challenges, requiring innovative thinking and flexibility. We build more than 'good' homes, we build exceptional ones.
- As a Health and Safety Ambassador, you will ensure your site set up and operations are consistently in line with both Crest and industry standards and practices, from the moment you step onto site, through to the final handover of keys to a property.
- We believe communication and good leadership get the job done - we encourage you to develop your leadership skills in the role of Assistant Site Manager while you work your way up to the role of Site Manager.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
