You will be involved in all aspects of the build, from groundwork and external envelopes to internal fitout and finishings. You will manage your own section of the site, managing subcontractors, enforcing H&S, quality control, progress reporting, escalating issues and liaising with the wider team. You will be given the opportunity to work on your management skills and technical ability under the wing of an experienced project manager with the view to stepping up to site manager in the coming years..

What you'll need to succeed
You will have worked as an assistant site manager for several years and be comfortable managing your own section of works on a larger housing site. You will come from a housebuilding background with either a smaller private or larger volume developer and hold relevant first aid, cscs & smsts qualifications.

What you'll get in return
A competitive salary & package at the high end of the market, including car allowance and bonus
