Construction Manager
đź“Ť Oxford, Oxfordshire
💷 £300–£350 per day | Freelance / Contract
Long-term project | Approx. 2 years remaining | ASAP start
💷 £300–£350/day + around two years of work remaining on a major Oxford healthcare scheme.
If you’re a technically strong Construction Manager who can interrogate drawings, spot buildability problems and drive subcontractors on site, this is a long-term contract worth looking at. 🏗️
About the role
We’re looking for a hands-on Construction Manager to join the delivery team on a complex, highly serviced clinical development in Oxford.
This isn’t a purely supervisory role. You’ll be expected to understand how the building goes together, challenge drawings, resolve construction interfaces and take ownership of your areas before problems hit programme.
You’ll work closely with M&E / Building Services, Design, Project Management, Site Management and subcontractor teams.
Key responsibilities
- Manage day-to-day construction delivery across allocated areas.
- Review drawings for buildability, clashes and installation issues.
- Coordinate construction, M&E and design interfaces.
- Manage subcontractors against drawings, specifications and programme.
- Oversee penetrations, openings, fire stopping and associated details.
- Look ahead, identify risks and resolve issues before they affect delivery.
- Manage Site Managers, Supervisors and site labour.
- Monitor quality, progress and site standards.
- Lead and contribute to subcontractor and coordination meetings.
