We're currently recruiting for an Assistant Site Manager
To join our Midlands Division, on our Bridgnorth Edge development in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
What does it take to be a successful Assistant Site Manager at Crest?
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.
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.
