Job description

Overview

Job Title: Site Manager

Location: Exeter

Rate: £250.00 - £260.00 per day (CIS payments optional)

Start Date: Immediately

Duration: 6 Months +

Harper’s are actively seeking a Site Manager with over 3 years' experience managing CDM-regulated sites. This is not your standard housebuilding role — we’re looking for someone with a proven track record delivering technically complex or non-residential projects, ideally with exposure to renewables, infrastructure, or bespoke commercial works.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years' experience managing CDM-compliant construction sites
• SMSTS – essential
• CDM-C, IOSH, or similar health & safety qualification – highly desirable
• Experience with solar or renewable energy projects – a plus, not a must
• Strong organisational and leadership skills – someone who can take ownership, not just follow checklists

Notes

We’re not looking for volume housing site managers – this role requires someone who understands the nuances of CDM, can work autonomously, and is confident managing H&S and compliance on unique sites.
