I'm recruiting for an experienced Site Manager to join a growing principal contractor delivering high-quality refurbishment, fit-out and construction projects across the commercial, industrial, education and public sectors.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Site Manager who is confident running projects from start to finish, managing multiple trades, and maintaining high standards of quality, safety and client satisfaction.
The Role
Reporting to the Contracts Manager, you will take full responsibility for the day-to-day management of construction sites, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to the required specification.
You'll be the main point of contact on site, coordinating subcontractors, liaising with clients and consultants, and ensuring all works are completed to the highest standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage projects from site set-up through to practical completion and handover.
- Develop and maintain short-term programmes to ensure works remain on schedule.
- Coordinate subcontractors, direct labour, suppliers and plant.
- Carry out daily site briefings and toolbox talks.
- Ensure all RAMS are in place, understood and followed before works commence.
- Monitor health, safety, environmental and quality standards across site.
- Undertake regular site inspections and quality assurance checks.
- Maintain accurate site diaries, progress reports and photographic records.
- Chair and attend site progress meetings with clients, consultants and subcontractors.
- Identify programme risks and implement solutions to minimise delays.
- Manage site logistics, deliveries and material storage.
- Ensure works are completed in accordance with drawings, specifications and building regulations.
- Oversee snagging, commissioning and final handover.
- Build positive relationships with clients and maintain excellent levels of customer satisfaction throughout the project.
