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.

• 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.
