Site Manager - 25 Apartments

Site Manager (no.1) 25 apartments plus commercial, East London, Soho scheme, Established main contractor

Your new company
A successful main contractor specialising in new-build residential schemes now seeks an experienced site manager to oversee an upcoming scheme in East London on a permanent basis. Working across Greater London & the South East, they are extremely well established, particularly in the social housing sector. Typically taking on projects of between 20-100 units, they go through an extremely busy period and need to expand their management team. The role is permanent with the initial scheme being a 25-unit plus commercial flat scheme in East London, due on site in early February.

Your new role
As site manager, you will be project lead and number 1 on site, reporting to a visiting contracts manager once a month. You will oversee the scheme from site-site-up through to client handover, working closely with an office-based qs, your site team, the client and sub-contactors. You will be comfortable with short-term programming, subcontract management, quality control, health and safety enforcement and generally managing a tight, busy site. You will be expected to keep accurate site records, be comfortable with the day to-project administration and be able to report monthly on the site progress to the directors.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a standalone site manager comfortable running your own scheme and all that entails. You will have worked as a site manager previously building similar schemes and have evidence of some stability with previous employers. You will hold valid 1st Aid, cscs and smsts qualifications and be looking for a long-term career move on a permanent basis. Due to site location, ideally you will live within 1 hr commute.

What you'll get in return
A competitive salary plus the opportunity to run a well-procured scheme with a good client from day 1 on site.
