Job description

About the Company

Our client is a well‑established, family‑founded construction firm with decades of experience across the UK and Ireland. Known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction standards, they deliver projects across residential, healthcare, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Their track record spans successful delivery of new‑build and refurbishment projects — from modular housing and hotels to specialist healthcare and institutional developments. They value quality, safety, and long‑term relationships with clients and partners.

The company embraces modern construction technologies and digital project management, supports staff development, and maintains a strong safety and quality culture.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Site Manager to lead delivery of a prominent care‑home new build and extension project in Bath, valued at ~£8 million. The role combines the rigour of residential build standards with the additional compliance and quality demands of care‑home construction — supplying a challenging but rewarding environment for a skilled construction professional.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage all on‑site works from ground‑up construction through to internal finishes and handover.
• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors, trades, and site labour to ensure programme delivery, quality, and safety.
• Ensure compliance with statutory health & safety regulations, site‑inductions, and company HSE policies.
• Maintain daily site records, progress reports, QA documentation, and liaise with project management and stakeholders.
• Oversee construction sequencing, logistics, and site organisation — managing trades, materials, and on‑site coordination.
• Work closely with design, technical and commercial teams to resolve technical issues, manage variations, and deliver to specification.
• Ensure work maintains the high standards required for care‑home quality and regulatory compliance.

Candidate Requirements

• Proven experience as a Site Manager on residential, care home, or specialist housing projects — ideally involving new build and/or extensions.
• Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills, capable of managing multi‑disciplinary teams and subcontractors.
• Excellent understanding of construction programmes, sequencing, quality control, and handover processes.
• Valid SMSTS, CSCS, and First Aid certifications (essential).
• Ability to thrive in a busy, safety‑conscious, client‑facing environment where professionalism and quality matters.

What's On Offer

• Permanent / long‑term position with a reputable main contractor with a broad project portfolio.
• Competitive salary and benefits package (to be discussed based on experience).
• Opportunity to lead a significant care‑home project — excellent for those looking to build their career in residential and specialist construction.
• Supportive work environment, professional standards, and a growing project pipeline across the region.
