We are recruiting on behalf of a top-tier Civil Engineering and Groundworks contractor, working closely with a national housebuilder on a significant phase of a strategic development.

We require an experienced Civil Infrastructure Site Manager to manage the technical, heavy civils packages on this high-volume site.

Key Responsibilities

As the leading supervisor for the infrastructure phase, your responsibilities will focus on the technical civils work required to make the large-scale housing estate functional and sustainable:

• Earthworks & Leveling: Direct and manage large-scale bulk earthworks and soil movement across the wide, low-lying site to establish the correct formation levels for roads and foundations.
• Utility & Service Installation: Manage the installation of all multi-utility services (gas, water, electric, fibre), including supervising civils work for the on-site substation and pump station facilities.
• Highway Construction: Supervise the construction of internal estate roads, junctions, and footpaths, ensuring compliance with local authority adoption standards (e.g., Section 38/278 agreements).
• Quality & Safety: Maintain exceptional standards of health, safety, and quality across all groundworks packages, providing clear supervision to site gangs and subcontractors.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• Proven experience (4+ years) managing complex civil engineering packages on large greenfield or strategic residential sites (250+ units).
• Demonstrable expertise in bulk earthworks and the installation of large-diameter drainage systems and SuDS features.
• Experience in utility coordination and overseeing specialist civils work (substations, pump stations).
• Ability to manage multiple groundworks gangs simultaneously across a vast site area.
• Essential Certifications:
  • SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme)
  • CSCS Gold or Black Card
  • Excellent knowledge of environmental controls and planning conditions.
