About The Role
We are expanding our Construction Team and are recruiting for an experienced Site Manager to join our team. Reporting to the Contracts Manager you will work alongside the development team to ensure the site programme is planned, delivered and effectively monitored on a daily basis.
You will manage all site resources including labour, plant and materials as well as on-site health and safety and client customer service. As a Site Manager you will also be expected to take ownership of site issues and ensure they are dealt with promptly.
You will monitor all site activity against quality standards, productivity targets and deadlines. Additionally you will ensure that materials are ordered, stored and used in a cost-effective manner. You will be responsible for identifying overspend and highlighting potential savings. It is essential that you are able to maintain control of sub-contractor time through itemising, programming and authorising as appropriate. Communication is key, and you will need to liaise with other teams within Cala to update them on the progress of the project.
About You
Ideally, you will have experience of working in the house building industry, and have experience of meeting NHBC standards. It is important that you have a broad understanding of all trades and have a thorough knowledge of the construction process. You will have excellent organisation and communication skills, work well within a team and be computer literate.
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.
