Your new company
A successful main contractor specialising in new-build residential schemes now seeks an experienced site manager to oversee an upcoming scheme in Maidstone on a permanent basis. Working across Greater London and the South East, they are extremely well-established, particularly in the social housing sector. Typically taking on projects of between 20-100 units, they go through an extremely busy period and need to expand their management team.

You will be expected to keep accurate site records, be comfortable with the day-to-day project administration and be able to report monthly on the site progress to the directors.
