Liaising with the wider project team and contractors
Taking responsibility for the site while providing holiday cover
About You:

Previous experience working as a Site Manager
Background in either Civil Engineering or Joinery
Confident managing a site and coordinating trades
Strong understanding of health and safety requirements
Able to work independently and take ownership of site operations
CSCS, SMSTS and First Aid certificates required
Working Hours:

Monday–Thursday: 8:00am–4:30pm
Friday: 8:00am–3:30pm
