Job description

Night Shift | Site Manager | Belfast & all Across Northern Ireland | Temporary or Permanent

Start November 2025 | Refurbishment | Retail / Supermarket Refurbishment.

The Company:

Think of this main contractor as the John Lewis of Construction-solid, reliable, and unlikely to vanish overnight. They've got a specialist division that focuses entirely on retail. If it's got aisles and a dodgy self-checkout, they've probably built it. Now they need a Freelance Site Manager who can turn an old store near Belfast into something a bit less...depressing.

The Project:

• New Roof - Because free indoor swimming pool isn't exactly on-brand.
• Side Extension - Currently a garden, soon to be anything but.
• Paving - To stop customers from playing Dodge the Puddle' on their way in.
• Front Demo - Out with the old, in with something less... tragic.
• Mezzanine Floor Removal - Because the last time it was stylish, Blockbuster was still a thing.
• Full Refurb - Top to bottom, polished up and ready for the weekly shop.

It's a £3 million project over 5 months. Not your typical weekend DIY, but if you've handled bigger builds than your nan's conservatory, you'll be fine.

What We're Looking For:

• Know Your Retail: If you've built stores for the likes of Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrison's, Co-Op, M&S, or Asda, your CV will be handled like it's the last packet of Hobnobs at a site tea break-snatched up and thoroughly appreciated.
• Run the Show: Projects from £200k to £5m where you were the boss-not the bloke who fetched the coffee.
• Stick Around: If you change jobs more often than a traffic light changes colour, this isn't for you. We want proof you don't bail at the first sign of rain.
• Understand Construction: Refurb, fit-out, technical know-how, and enough common sense to know a joist from a jib crane.
• Client-friendly: You can talk shop without promising marble floors and chandeliers.

I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but let's be clear-I'm a serious recruiter working with a serious contractor, and this is a seriously good opportunity. If you've got the experience and the grit to handle projects that matter, I want to hear from you.
