Bridgestaff Group are recruiting for an experienced Operations Manager to join a growing specialist contractor operating within the UK construction sector.
This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing multiple live projects nationwide. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing operational delivery, maintaining client relationships, leading site teams, conducting surveys, preparing quotations, and ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
The position offers a mixture of site-based and office-based work and would suit an individual with a strong construction background who has experience managing teams and delivering projects across multiple locations.

Working patterns will vary depending on project demands. Typically, this will involve a combination of site visits and office-based work, although some weeks may be heavily site-focused while others may involve surveys, planning and client meetings.
