• Maintain H&S compliance and all RAMS documentation
• Keep a safe, tidy, and high-standard working site
• Communicate clearly with teams, office, and client
• Track progress and report to PM or Contracts Manager
• Manage handover, snagging, and finish to spec

What You’ll Need

• Experience as lead Site Manager on high-spec fit-out or interiors
• Background in hospitality, retail, or fast commercial fit-outs
• Strong control of sequencing, team coordination, and quality
