We are working with a leading Tier 1 Main Contractor delivering a major £200m+ construction project in Cardiff and are looking to appoint experienced Site Managers for a minimum of 12 months' freelance work, with strong potential to extend beyond this.

We are particularly interested in Site Managers with proven experience in either:

• Internal Fit-Out / Finishing - managing significant internal packages on large-scale new-build projects within a main contracting environment.
• Steel Frame / Structural Packages - strong experience managing steel-frame construction and associated packages on major new-build schemes.

This is a substantial, high-profile project offering excellent longevity for the right individuals. Due to the scale and complexity of the scheme, applicants must have a strong background working for Tier 1 or established Tier 2 main contractors.

Essential Requirements

• Proven Site Management experience within Tier 1 or Tier 2 main contracting
• Strong large-scale internal fit-out OR steel-frame construction experience
• Experience delivering major new-build projects
• CSCS Gold, White or Black Card
• SMSTS
• First Aid
• Able to commute reliably to Cardiff
• Strong package management, subcontractor coordination and site delivery experience

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced freelance Site Managers looking for genuine long-term security on a major £200m+ scheme, working alongside an established Tier 1 project team.

Please note: Due to the requirements of the project, only candidates with directly relevant main contracting and package experience will be considered.
