Are you an experienced Site Manager who takes genuine pride in high-quality building, strong supply chain relationships, and prompt site delivery?
We are partnering with a thriving, highly respected family-owned Regional Main Contractor with over a century of building heritage. Known for their prompt payment culture, exceptional staff retention, and commitment to pristine construction quality, they are looking for a Site Manager to join their South Coast division.

- Relationship-Driven Management: Work collaboratively with local sub-contractors, consultants, and clients, embodying a fair payment and honest communication ethos on site.
- Health and Safety First: Maintain immaculate site standards, strict safety protocols, and clear site documentation.
- Short-Term Programming: Drive 2-to-4-week lookahead programmes, coordinating trades to ensure key milestones are hit seamlessly.
- Client Handover: Focus heavily on defect-free handovers and pristine finishes, keeping the client informed throughout every phase of the build.
