Job description

We're currently recruiting for an Assistant Site Manager to join our Special Projects division to work on fire remediation type projects in the South of England. What does it take to be a successful Assistant Site Manager at Crest? To carve yourself a career as a quality Assistant Site Manager with Crest, you'll be proactive and supportive to your manager and the subcontractors who supply you. It is paramount that you are a strong relationship builder to ensure quality workmanship and collaborative problem‑solving when faced with challenges and preventing reoccurrences. You will work closely with other departments in the division as part of the development and construction phases. Your subcontractors will need guidance and direction so that you can work together to reach your targets and deliver an outstanding final product. The role requires a level of resilience and drive to deliver to the build programme both on budget and to deadlines. You will be naturally motivated to do so and will never compromise on finishing of the product. As a Health and Safety Ambassador, you will ensure your site set up and operations are consistently in line with both Crest and industry standards and practices, from the moment you step onto site, through to the final handover of project. We believe communication and good leadership get the job done - we encourage you to develop your leadership skills in the role of Assistant Site Manager while you work your way up to the role of Site Manager.

You will have at least two years' experience in a similar assistant level role, mixed with your tools and trades knowledge in any specialised area. You'll also need experience working with a main housebuilder or main contractor on either facade, cladding, fire remediation or high rise type projects.
