Job Description
Senior Site Manager
Plymouth
Due to continued growth, an established and highly respected multi-sector construction business is seeking an experienced Senior Site Manager to lead an upcoming project in Plymouth.
Operating across a diverse range of sectors, including healthcare, education, industrial and commercial, this organisation delivers both new-build and refurbishment projects throughout the South West, supported by a strong pipeline of secured work.
The Role
The contractor is looking to appoint a technically astute Senior Site Manager to take ownership of a large-value Design & Build project, overseeing the delivery of external cladding works, a new roof and associated ancillary works.
The role will involve managing the key subcontractors, including the principal cladding/roofing contractor and scaffolding contractor, whilst ensuring the effective coordination of all associated works and the wider supply chain.
They require a hands-on individual who is confident in running the project day to day, maintaining a strong on-site presence and taking responsibility for overall programme, progress and delivery. This will include coordinating subcontractors, monitoring performance, chairing progress meetings and managing regular project reporting.
As a Design & Build contract, the position requires strong technical knowledge, proactive problem-solving skills and the ability to effectively coordinate operational teams and supply chain partners. The works are being delivered on a live site, so the Senior Site Manager will have daily interaction with the client, requiring a professional, communicative and customer-focused approach throughout.
The initial mobilisation phase will commence before Christmas, with the site set-up being installed. Following the Christmas break, scaffolding will be erected and the project will move into its main delivery phase.
