CONSTRUCTION MANAGER – £500–£550 PER DAY PAYE

12-Month Contract | Monday–Friday

Ready for a contract that puts you at the heart of project delivery?

We’re looking for an experienced Construction Manager who can take control of complex construction operations, lead from the front and keep a major project moving. With a 12-month contract and £500–£550 per day PAYE, this is an opportunity to take on a key leadership role and make a real impact on how work gets delivered.

THE CHALLENGE

This isn’t just about keeping an eye on site. You’ll be driving operations, bringing multiple teams together and making sure every stage of construction is properly planned, coordinated and delivered.

You’ll take ownership of work packages, manage subcontractors and lead site teams to ensure the right people, plant and materials are in place at the right time. When challenges arise, you’ll be expected to take the lead, find solutions and keep progress on track.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Taking the lead on site operations, coordinating construction teams and subcontractors to drive productivity and delivery.

• Keeping the programme moving through effective planning, sequencing and proactive problem-solving.

• Setting the standard for health and safety, ensuring RAMS and safe systems of work are followed across site.

• Managing site logistics, resources, plant, deliveries and access to keep operations running efficiently.

• Maintaining high standards of workmanship and ensuring construction activities meet design specifications and quality requirements.

• Working closely with planning, commercial, design and project management teams to overcome challenges and achieve project targets.

• Monitoring progress, managing subcontractor performance and addressing issues before they impact delivery.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You’ll have proven Construction Manager experience, strong leadership skills and the confidence to manage complex site operations. You’ll understand construction programming, health and safety, quality control and subcontractor management, with the commercial awareness to make informed decisions under pressure.

THE DETAILS

Rate: £500–£550 per day
Payment: PAYE only
Duration: 12 months
Working pattern: Monday–Friday

If you’re a Construction Manager who thrives on responsibility, enjoys leading from the front and knows how to turn a programme into results, we want to hear from you.
