Your new company
A successful main contractor specialising in new-build residential schemes is now seeking an experienced site manager to oversee a new scheme in Maidstone on a permanent basis. Typically, 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. The role is permanent with the initial scheme being a 25-unit plus commercial flat scheme, due on site imminently.

Your new role
As site manager, you will be number 1 on site, being supported by a visiting contracts manager. You will oversee the scheme from site-site-up through to client handover, working closely with office-based qs, your site team, the client and sub-contactors. You will be comfortable with short-term programming, subcontract management, quality control, health and safety enforcement and generally managing a tight, busy site. 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.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be an experienced assistant site manager ready to step or an established site manager. You will have worked on similar schemes (small residential new builds) and have evidence of some stability with previous employers. You will hold valid 1st Aid, CSCS and SMTS qualifications and be looking for a long-term career move on a permanent basis. Due to the site location, ideally you will live within a 45-min commute.

A competitive salary plus the opportunity to run a well-procured scheme with a good client from day 1 on site.
