• Maintain strong health & safety standards across the project.
• Coordinate project activities alongside senior management and support teams.

Support Available

You’ll be fully supported by an experienced management structure including:

• Contract Manager
• Health & Safety Team
• Quality Assurance Team
• Senior Operational Management

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years' experience as a Site Manager within the cladding, roofing, façade, or external envelope sector.
• Strong knowledge of refurbishment and external envelope projects.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Must be based within commuting distance of Edinburgh.

Package

• £55,000-£60,000 basic salary
• £5,000 car allowance
• Permanent, long-term opportunity
• Secured project pipeline through 2027 and beyond
• Supportive management team and clear reporting structure
