Facade Manager

Façade Manager – Temp/Perm – Edinburgh – Start ASAP There’s currently a façade package in Edinburgh involving aluminium panelling, brickwork, stone restoration, pitched slate roofs and Kalzip… which means somewhere, right now, a site team is standing in the rain arguing about whose job it was to check a reveal detail before 400 panels turned up. This project needs the person who walks towards those conversations rather than suddenly becoming “hard to get hold of”. Main contractor - established 50+ years - delivering a large accommodation scheme in Edinburgh: 6 low/mid-rise blocks 600+ bedrooms 15 months remaining Structural frame complete on 3 blocks Steel frame works ongoing within the remaining 3 existing blocks 2 blocks currently at 1st fix / partition stage Remaining blocks moving into 1st fix from JuneThe façade package includes: Aluminium panelling Brickwork Large stone restoration package Pitched slate roofs Kalzip roofing systemThey’re looking for a proper Façade / Envelope / Externals Manager who: Can commute easily to Edinburgh Has decent longevity on the CV (not 14 employers since Covid) Has worked on residential, hotel or student accommodation projects Can take ownership of a block and see it through properly Understands that “I’ll sort it” usually means you’re now solving 11 other problems nobody mentioned at the meetingYou’ll either take on a restoration block or a new build block and be trusted to run it like it’s your own. Good contractor. Good people. Busy project. Plenty going on. If interested - or if you know someone who enjoys scaffold stairs, weather apps and subcontractors saying “we’re basically finished” three weeks before they actually are - give me a shout.
