Job Description

Gibson Recruitment Ltd. is working on behalf of a reputable Main Contractor to recruit a SITE MANAGER on a permanent basis.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate new build experience and be suitably qualified Civil Engineers. This role is to manage the groundworks / civils sub-contractors on complex new builds on brownfield sites.

Applications are encouraged from experienced Site Managers who have progressed through the ranks as Site Engineers, and from ambitious Site/Setting Out Engineers who are keen to take on greater management responsibility.

Our client has a solid pipeline of projects and a growing team, and the successful Site Manager / Site Engineer will be based on new build projects in Glasgow.

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.
