Job description

Assistant Site Manager / Site Supervisor | Permanent | Nr Haywards Heath
Permanent | Starts October 2026

£25m+ Town Centre Regeneration Scheme
Were looking for an ambitious Assistant Site Manager / Site Supervisor to join an experienced site team on a major town centre regeneration scheme near Haywards Heath.
The project starts with a substantial phased demolition and enabling programme across a constrained town-centre site, including commercial buildings, a multi-storey car park and a considerable amount of existing services and utility diversions to work through.
Once the early works are complete, the scheme moves into piling and construction of a new supermarket with a 100+ bed hotel above, alongside retail space, external works and car parking.

Youll work closely with the Senior Site Manager, taking ownership of:

• Site inductions
• Reviewing and managing RAMS
• Health & safety paperwork and compliance
• Subcontractor coordination
• Site logistics
• Supporting the demolition and enabling works before moving into the main build

There will be paperwork. Quite a lot of it and your daily steps will reach decent levels…

But this isnt intended to be a role where you spend the next two years simply becoming known as the RAMS person.
As the project moves through piling, structure, façade and finishes, the management team will expand and there will be genuine scope to take on more responsibility.

Were looking for:

• Experience as an Assistant Site Manager or Site Supervisor
• Main contractor / commercial construction experience
• Relevant NVQ and site qualifications
• Good organisational and communication skills
• Confidence dealing with subcontractors
• A genuine ambition to progress into a Site Manager roleSalary: £40,000£50,000 basic / travel allowance + package, depending on experience.

This would suit somebody who has a track record with reputable principal contractors, wants exposure to a proper mixed-use redevelopment and the chance to learn the whole job not just one package.

Salary: £40000 – £50000/annum

Job Type: Permanent

Location: Haywards Heath
