Site Manager – Uckfield

Location: Uckfield

Duration: 12 weeks

Start Date: Following interview

Rate: £250 - £280 per day Paid CIS 

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Site Manager to take responsibility for a fantastic traditional-build residential development in Uckfield.

The project consists of 6 houses, all at varying stages of construction, and is expected to run for approximately 12 weeks, making this an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a role through to the New Year.

We are looking for a strong and experienced Site Manager with a solid understanding of traditional construction, particularly superstructure works. A brickwork background would be highly advantageous.

The Role

You will be responsible for managing the site independently, ensuring the programme remains on track and that works are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

You will report directly to a visiting Construction Director, so the ability to take ownership, make decisions and be accountable for the day-to-day running of the site is essential.

The successful candidate will be:

Experienced managing traditional-build residential developments

Strong technically, particularly across superstructure works

Confident managing a site independently

Able to drive the programme and keep works on schedule

Responsible, accountable and proactive

Professional in manner and presentation

A strong character who can manage subcontractors and the wider site team

Requirements

SMSTS – Essential

First Aid – Essential

CSCS – Required, although we can be flexible on the type of card

Strong traditional-build experience

Brickwork background highly desirable

Interviews will be taking place within the next 10 days, with a start date immediately following the interview process.

If you're an experienced Site Manager looking for a hands-on role where you can take ownership of a quality residential development, we'd like to hear from you
