Job description

Senior Site Manager

A well-established residential developer is preparing to start a brand-new 120-unit traditional build development in West Sussex and they are looking for an experienced Senior Site Manager to join the team from the very beginning.

Joining at this stage means you'll have genuine involvement from the early development and pre-construction stages, helping establish the standards, team and working practices that will shape the site throughout its different stages.

The development will be delivered to NHBC standards, with quality, programme and safety at the heart of the build. You'll work alongside an experienced management team and have the opportunity to take real ownership as the project progresses.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Helping lead the development from the early stages through to completion.
• Working closely with the wider project team during the initial development and mobilisation.
• Managing subcontractors and maintaining progress against programme.
• Ensuring consistently high build quality and compliance with NHBC standards.
• Supporting the Site Manager and wider team in delivering a well-organised and efficient development.
• Maintaining high standards of health and safety across the site.
• Working closely with Commercial, Technical and Customer Care teams.
• Developing and mentoring members of the site team as the development grows.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has strong experience delivering traditional build residential developments.
• Has previously worked as a Senior Site Manager or in a similar senior site-based position.
• Has a thorough understanding of NHBC standards and quality-led construction.
• Is confident managing subcontractors, programmes and site teams.
• Enjoys being involved in the early stages of a development and establishing standards from the outset.
• Is ambitious and looking for a business where there is genuine scope to progress.

The attraction of this role is the opportunity to join before the first homes are built. You'll have the chance to influence how the development is run rather than simply inheriting an established site, while working for a business with a strong pipeline and a genuine focus on developing its people.

For someone looking to take the next step in their career, there is clear opportunity to progress as the business and development pipeline continue to grow.

Package

• Salary up to £85,000
• Car Allowance
• Bonus
• Excellent Benefits Package
