The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Site Manager to join the frameworks team of an established environmental and civil engineering contractor, supporting a major programme of asset operations and maintenance works across East Anglia, the East Midlands and Lincolnshire.

The role will oversee the delivery of a varied programme of works, including grass cutting, vegetation and weed management, tree works, in-channel works, simple desilting projects and associated environmental maintenance programmes.

This is a hands‑on operational position, ideal for someone who enjoys being out on site, managing teams and subcontractors, coordinating resources and ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and to programme.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day delivery of site-based environmental and civil engineering works
• Coordinate site teams, subcontractors and operational resources
• Allocate work and supervise delivery to ensure programmes are completed safely and efficiently
• Prepare works for delivery, including plant, materials, labour and site requirements
• Supervise grass cutting, vegetation management, tree works, in‑channel and desilting activities
• Prepare and coordinate method statements, risk assessments and other site documentation
• Monitor site progress, quality, costs and programme performance
• Coordinate temporary works where required
• Carry out site inspections and ensure compliance with health, safety and environmental requirements
• Manage waste and environmental considerations
• Liaise with clients, neighbours, subcontractors and other stakeholders
• Work closely with senior management on programmes, operational requirements and project delivery

About You

We are looking for a confident Site Manager / Site Supervisor with experience in one or more of the following:

• Civil engineering
• Environmental works
• Waterways / water management
• Highways
• Vegetation or land management
• Utilities or other field-based operational environments

You should have experience managing site teams and subcontractors, ideally including responsibility for a ganger or equivalent operational resource.

You will need to be organised, commercially aware and confident managing multiple activities across a geographically dispersed region.

SMSTS or equivalent site management training would be advantageous.

Location & Travel

This is a field‑based role, covering East Anglia, the East Midlands and Lincolnshire, with travel across a wide regional area.

The role is not permanently office‑based and will involve periods of extended site presence. For East Midlands in‑channel and desilting projects, you should expect to be site‑based for a minimum of four days per week while works are underway.

If you're an experienced Site Manager with a background in civil engineering, environmental, waterways, highways or operational maintenance, and you're looking for a varied, field‑based role with long‑term opportunity, we'd be keen to hear from you
