We’re currently recruiting on behalf of a leading Tier 1 main contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Site Manager on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Site Manager with a strong new-build Tier 1 background who is looking to take ownership of projects from the early stages right through to completion.

We’re looking for someone who understands what it takes to get a project out of the ground, build momentum and drive it through to successful completion.

The Role

As Senior Site Manager, you’ll take a leading role in the delivery of projects from initial mobilisation and groundworks through to completion and handover.

You’ll be responsible for coordinating the site team, subcontractors and wider supply chain, ensuring the project is delivered safely, efficiently, to programme and to the required quality standards.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who takes ownership and is confident leading a project through all stages of construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the delivery of new-build projects from mobilisation through to completion and handover
• Take ownership of day-to-day site operations and overall construction delivery
• Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and the wider supply chain
• Drive programme, productivity and quality throughout the project lifecycle
• Manage construction sequencing and site logistics
• Ensure works are delivered safely and in accordance with project requirements
• Work closely with the Project Manager, design and commercial teams
• Identify and resolve issues proactively to maintain progress
• Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors
• Lead, manage and develop the site team
• Ensure the project is delivered to the required programme, quality and safety standards

About You

Ideally, you will have:

• Proven experience as a Senior Site Manager with a Tier 1 main contractor
• Strong new-build construction experience
• A track record of taking projects from early stages/groundworks through to completion
• Excellent knowledge of construction sequencing and project delivery
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage large site teams and supply chains
• A proactive and hands-on approach to problem solving
• The ability to take ownership and drive a project forward
• Excellent communication and organisational skills

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can take a project from the ground up and see it through to completion — someone who can establish the right standards early, build a strong team around them and maintain momentum throughout the project. xwzovoh
