Assistant Site Manager High-Quality Residential House Building
Location: Newquay, Cornwall
Pay: £25.00 - £28.00 per hour (depending on experience)
Job Type: Temporary with the opportunity to become permanent
Harbron Recruit is recruiting on behalf of a respected house builder for an experienced Assistant Site Manager to join a prestigious residential development in Newquay.
This opportunity is ideal for someone with a minimum of 7-10 years' experience within the residential house-building sector. Our client is looking for an individual who understands that building homes is about far more than simply completing plots—it's about delivering high-quality homes, maintaining exceptional workmanship throughout every stage of the build, and ensuring every property is completed to the highest standard before handover.
Although this role is initially offered on a temporary basis, there is a genuine opportunity for a permanent position with the client for the right candidate.
The Role
Working closely with the Site Manager, you will assist in the day-to-day running of a busy residential development, ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently, on programme, and to the highest quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in the day-to-day management of a live residential housing development.
- Support the Site Manager in delivering high-quality new-build homes.
- Supervise subcontractors and ensure works are completed to specification.
- Monitor build quality throughout every stage of construction, identifying and resolving any issues before completion.
- Coordinate daily site activities to ensure programmes are achieved.
- Carry out plot inspections and quality assurance checks.
- Maintain accurate site records, inspections, and progress reports.
- Ensure excellent site presentation and housekeeping standards are maintained.
- Assist with customer care and snagging where required.
