Site Manager – Major Infrastructure-Led Residential Development
Essex | up to £65,000 + Benefits
About the Role
Joshua Robert are proud to be exclusively partnering with a leading residential Master Developer to recruit a Site Manager / Assistant Construction Manager for a landmark new settlement across Essex.
This is a rare opportunity to join a business delivering a major infrastructure programme. Roads, drainage, utilities, heavy earthworks and landscaping, from design through to local authority adoption, before serviced parcels are handed over to housebuilders.
You'll be working client-side, at the heart of a scheme that will shape a new community for the next generation, with genuine influence over how it's delivered.
What You'll Be Doing
- Reviewing and buildability-checking infrastructure designs at pre-tender and pre-construction stage
- Supporting the site-wide utility strategy and construction access/haul road planning
- Monitoring contractors on-site for quality, programme and compliance with approved standards
- Reviewing H&S files and as-built records to Principal Designer standard
- Agreeing completion certificates with the NEC Supervisor and Project Manager
- Coordinating with the local authority highways engineer to bring infrastructure to adoption
- Managing housebuilder permits, inspections and handover of completed parcels
- Overseeing site security and estate management for areas outside the live construction programme
