Luxury Country House Fit-Out

Guildford, Surrey

Up to £65,000 + Package

A well-known contractor operating in the Super Prime Residential space is looking for a Site Manager to lead the internal fit-out of a £4m luxury countryside residence near Guildford.

The project is already out of the ground with all structural works complete. Now entering the most exciting stage - the bespoke internal fit-out phase, with exceptionally high-end finishes and detail-rich design elements throughout.

This is a client-facing position with clear progression, offering the chance to deliver a flagship build in a beautiful part of Surrey.

The Project

• £4m+ countryside residence just outside of Guildford.
• Full internal fit-out including joinery, AV systems, stonework, bespoke kitchen and bathrooms, and custom interiors.
• Private client – UHNWI – with very high expectations for detail, quality and finish.
• Site team includes working foreman, assistant, and specialist subcontractors.
• Full design team in place and actively engaged.

The Role

• Day-to-day responsibility for delivering the project on time, on budget and to spec.
• Working closely with the Contracts Manager, in-house commercial team, and external consultants.
• Coordinating subcontractors, managing quality control, site safety and client liaison.
• Weekly client reporting and coordination with design team.
• Setting short- and long-term programmes and ensuring delivery milestones are hit.

What You’ll Need

• Proven experience as a Site Manager delivering high-end or luxury residential projects.
• A strong understanding of bespoke fit-out techniques, materials, and specialist packages.
• Hands-on, solutions-focused attitude with the ability to manage complex finishes and sequencing.
• Strong client-facing communication skills.
• Ideally from a trade background (joinery, carpentry or similar), though not essential.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £65,000 + Package (travel, pension, holidays etc.).
• An incredibly impressive project to lead – the kind that stands out on a CV.
• Join a close-knit but growing business with an excellent reputation in the Prime Resi market.
• Longer-term progression opportunities into Contracts or Project Management roles.
• Great autonomy, direct client contact, and professional site support.
