Senior Site Manager – Major Healthcare Project
📍 Oxford
💷 Circa £350 per day
⏳ Freelance | Approx. 2-year contract | ASAP start
£350/day + around 2 years of work on a major healthcare build in Oxford. 🏗️
If you’re a hands-on Senior Site Manager who wants to be out driving the job rather than managing it from behind a desk, this is a strong long-term contract.
A current CITB Temporary Works Coordinator qualification is essential.
About the role
You’ll work alongside the Construction Manager and wider delivery team, taking ownership of day-to-day site operations across multiple subcontract packages.
The focus is simple: safe delivery, strong subcontractor control, programme, quality and solving problems before they hit the job.
Key responsibilities
- Manage daily site activities and multiple subcontract packages
- Drive short-term programmes, sequencing and look-ahead planning
- Coordinate subcontractors, Site Managers, supervisors and labour
- Review RAMS, permits, ITPs and construction information
- Monitor quality against drawings, specifications and programme
- Coordinate closely with M&E, design and specialist trades
- Manage logistics, access, deliveries and trade interfaces
- Identify buildability and sequencing issues early
- Maintain high health, safety and environmental standards
- Act as Temporary Works Coordinator
- Support snagging, commissioning and handover
