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.
