Main Contractor | Central Scotland

An established and highly regarded Scottish main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager to join its growing operational team. The business delivers a varied portfolio of construction, refurbishment and fit-out projects across the commercial, education, healthcare, industrial, retail and leisure sectors.

This is an excellent opportunity for a capable Site Manager who can take day-to-day ownership of projects on site, maintaining strong standards of health & safety, quality, programme and client service.

  • Ensure works are delivered safely, to programme and to the required quality standards.
  • Monitor progress against the construction programme and proactively address potential delays.
  • Ensure compliance with drawings, specifications and contractual requirements.
  • Maintain high standards of health & safety and ensure site procedures are followed at all times.
  • Carry out site inductions, toolbox talks and appropriate safety briefings.
  • Maintain accurate site records, diaries and progress reports.
  • Coordinate materials, deliveries and site logistics.
  • Liaise professionally with clients, consultants, subcontractors and the wider project team.
  • Manage quality control, snagging and close-out through to successful handover.
  • Work closely with Project Managers and the commercial team to support efficient project delivery.

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.
