About The Role
We are currently recruiting a Site Manager to join a leading Tier 1 Main Contractor overseeing a major school refurbishment and extension project in Kent.

- Health, Safety and Compliance: Enforce Tier 1 Health and Safety standards on site, conducting RAMS reviews and managing CDM compliance in an educational environment.
- Technical Management: Review technical drawings, resolve RFIs on-site, and manage quality assurance alongside the Project Manager.
