Our client is a highly respected and established house builder, with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality new homes and maintaining excellent standards across their developments.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Site Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day management of a busy timber-frame housing development, working as part of a professional and well-established site team.

The Role

As Site Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day construction activities across the development, ensuring that homes are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required quality standards.

You will be working in a busy, fast-paced environment, coordinating subcontractors, trades and site resources while ensuring programmes and build targets are achieved.

Key responsibilities will include:

Managing the day-to-day construction of timber-frame new build homes.
Coordinating subcontractors and site trades to ensure works are completed to programme.
Maintaining high standards of health & safety across the development.
Ensuring works are delivered to the required quality and specification.
Monitoring progress against programme and identifying potential delays.
Managing and coordinating site labour and resources effectively.
Liaising closely with the Site Manager, Contracts Manager and wider project team.
Ensuring plots are progressing efficiently through the various stages of construction.
Maintaining excellent standards of housekeeping and presentation across the site.
Carrying out regular inspections and ensuring defects are identified and addressed promptly.
Ensuring all works comply with relevant building regulations, company procedures and NHBC standards.
Providing leadership and direction to subcontractors and site teams.

About You

The successful candidate will ideally have:

Proven experience working within residential new build housing.
Previous experience managing construction activities on a busy housing development.
Strong knowledge of timber-frame construction.
Excellent organisational and communication skills.
The ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced environment.
A strong understanding of health & safety and quality requirements.
The confidence to manage subcontractors and site trades effectively.
A proactive approach with the ability to identify and resolve issues before they impact programme.
A strong eye for detail and commitment to delivering high-quality homes.
Relevant construction qualifications, including SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected house builder on a well-run and busy development.

If you are an experienced new-build professional looking for your next opportunity and have the drive, organisation and leadership skills required to thrive on a busy development, we would be keen to hear from you.
