Job description

As part of our continued growth, we're looking for an exceptional Site Manager to join us. We're not looking for an average Site Manager. We're looking for someone who wants to be one of the best.

At Ultimate, we work smart, work hard, excel, succeed and have a great time doing it.

We're building a high-performing team of ambitious people who genuinely care about delivering exceptional projects and exceptional client experiences.

As a Site Manager, you'll be at the heart of that. You'll take ownership of the day-to-day running of our sites, bringing together subcontractors, maintaining exceptional standards and making sure our projects are delivered safely, efficiently and with real attention to detail.

If you're someone who takes pride in your site, spots problems before they become problems and doesn't walk past something that isn't right, we'd like to hear from you.

• You communicate clearly and build strong relationships.
• You stay calm and make good decisions when things get challenging.
• You take Health & Safety seriously and lead by example.
• You understand the importance of programme, quality and cost.
• You care about the client's experience, not just getting the job finished.
• You bring positive energy to site.
• You want to continuously learn, improve and develop your career.
• You want to be part of a business that's raising standards.
