Site Management Residential Projects Subcontractor Coordination Health & Safety SMSTS CSCS

FULL DESCRIPTION

Salary: £60,000 – £65,000 + Package

Projects across Kent & Surrey

Start date: May 2026

Permanent

The Role

You’ll be the person running the show on site—keeping the programme on track, subcontractors in line, and making sure everything is delivered safely and to a high standard. Projects are mainly residential and care homes, so experience in either will put you in a strong position.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing day-to-day site operations (yes, including the unexpected surprises)
  • Keeping the programme moving in the right direction
  • Coordinating subcontractors and maintaining standards
  • Upholding health & safety (the non-negotiable bit)
  • Liaising with clients and the wider team without losing your sanity

What They're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Site Manager with a main contractor
  • Residential and/or care home project experience from £5m - £15m
  • Strong leadership skills—you can run a site without shouting… most of the time
  • SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid
  • Someone organised, proactive, and able to spot problems before they become “meetings”

What’s on Offer

This is a genuinely good role with a principal contractor that knows what they’re doing. You won’t be handed a mess and told to “just sort it”—unless it’s one of those days… but that’s construction. If you’re a Site Manager who likes running a tight ship, delivering quality work, and getting home at a reasonable hour (occasionally), let’s have a chat.
