Job description

We are looking for an experienced Site Manager to join our Places Developments team and take responsibility for the successful day‑to‑day delivery of one of our new‑build developments.

You will oversee and coordinate all production activity on site, ensuring that homes are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the quality standards our customers expect. From managing subcontractors and monitoring build programmes to maintaining site records and driving a positive health and safety culture, you will play a key role throughout the development.

Working closely with our Build, Sales, Technical and Commercial teams, you will make sure activity is coordinated effectively and that accurate, up-to‑date information is maintained. You will also represent Places Developments professionally with customers, contractors, suppliers and the wider community, demonstrating our People First approach at every opportunity.

More about you

You will be an experienced Site Manager with a strong background in delivering fast‑paced, new‑build housing developments from initial construction through to completion.

Safety, quality and customer satisfaction will be central to the way you work. You will be confident leading site teams, setting clear expectations and holding contractors accountable for their performance. You will also be highly organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing competing priorities within a busy construction environment.

We understand the importance of a supportive and inclusive work culture so please talk to us at interview about flexibility you may need. We can't promise to give you exactly what you want, but we promise not to judge you for asking. For this role we are open to discussing the possibility of reduced hours, flexible start and finish times or compressed hours.
