Job Description

We are looking for an experienced and practical General Site Supervisor to work on a commercial flat-roof refurbishment project in Haverhill.

You will be working on behalf of the roofing contractor and will be responsible for supervising their operatives and works only.

The Main Contractor's Site Manager will retain overall responsibility for the site, so this is not a position requiring you to manage the entire construction project.

Instead, we need someone who can confidently take responsibility for the roofing contractor's day-to-day activities, ensuring operatives are working safely, RAMS and permit controls are followed and communication with the Main Contractor remains clear.

Previous roofing experience would be advantageous but is not essential. We are primarily looking for a highly experienced construction Site Supervisor who is practical, safety-conscious and confident managing site operatives.

Key Duties

• Supervising the roofing contractor's operatives and works
• Maintaining site compliance throughout the works
• Liaising directly with the Main Contractor's Site Manager regarding daily activities, access and coordination
• Arranging, receiving and closing out daily permits
• Checking that RAMS, permits and associated control measures are being correctly followed
• Monitoring Health & Safety standards throughout the working day
• Acting as the designated Fire Watch during heat-producing / hot works
• Remaining continuously present while fire-watch cover is required
• Stopping relevant works if the required fire-watch cover cannot be maintained
• Carrying out regular inspections of working areas
• Monitoring housekeeping and general site safety
• Completing daily site records
• Carrying out photographic checks and providing progress updates
• Reporting incidents, unsafe conditions or changes to the planned method immediately
• Communicating effectively with operatives, management and the Main Contractor
• Ensuring works remain organised, compliant and safely controlled throughout the project

Requirements

• Valid SSSTS
• Valid CSCS card
• All relevant certification in date
• Strong previous experience working as a Site Supervisor / General Site Supervisor
• Experience supervising construction operatives and subcontract works
• Good understanding of RAMS and permit-to-work systems
• Strong Health & Safety awareness
• Confidence challenging unsafe working practices and stopping works where necessary
• Ability to communicate effectively with both site operatives and management
• Good organisational and record-keeping skills
• A practical, hands-on approach to site supervision
• Full PPE
• Recent relevant supervisory references
• Availability to commit to approximately 4-5 weeks

Advantageous

• SMSTS
• Previous roofing / flat-roofing experience
• Previous experience supervising refurbishment works
• Experience working within a Principal Contractor's permit system
• Fire Safety / Fire Marshal experience
• Hot Works / Fire Watch experience
• First Aid

Hot Works and Fire Watch training will be provided for the successful candidate.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is highly experienced, confident and practical rather than someone who simply holds the required tickets.

You must be comfortable managing operatives, challenging unsafe practices, working within a Principal Contractor's permit system and taking responsibility for ensuring the roofing contractor's works remain compliant.

You will have the Main Contractor's Site Manager above you retaining overall responsibility for the site, but you must be capable of independently managing and supervising the roofing contractor's activities day to day.

Equal Opportunities

Stridden Limited is an equal opportunities employer. All applicants will be considered for employment regardless of age, sex, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, or any other protected characteristic
