Job Description
Site Manager - Social Housing Retrofit & Refurbishment
A leading national construction and property services contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager to join its growing Midlands team, delivering major social housing refurbishment and retrofit projects across Birmingham.
Position: Site Manager
Location: Birmingham
Salary: Up to £52,000 per annum + £4000 car allowance + package
Contract Type: Permanent
Start date: Immediately available
This is an excellent opportunity to join a financially secure, well-established business with a strong pipeline of work and an outstanding reputation for delivering large-scale capital works and energy efficiency programmes within the occupied social housing sector.
The Opportunity
Due to continued growth, our client is recruiting three Site Managers to oversee the delivery of significant occupied residential refurbishment schemes.
Working alongside an experienced Project Manager, you will take ownership of day-to-day site operations, coordinating multiple workstreams, managing specialist subcontractors, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. You will be working on one of two flagship refurbishment and retrofit schemes for a major local authority.
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.
