Site Manager – Fit-Out Specialist (Ceiling Systems)

Are you a Site Manager with experience in subcontracting fit-out, particularly metal ceilings, suspended ceilings, or fire-rated ceiling systems? Are you ready to step into a career-defining role with clear long-term progression?

This is a rare opportunity to join a £32M turnover interiors specialist, backed by a £2BN+ international group, offering full training, stability, and the chance to grow into a leadership role within their Northern Division.

About the Company

This highly regarded subcontractor designs, manufactures, and installs bespoke ceiling and interior systems for high-end commercial fit-out projects across the UK. Their current projects in Manchester and Liverpool (each around £1M in value) need a skilled and motivated Site Manager to take the lead from either project to manage until practical completion.

This business has a strong, stable pipeline of work and is planning for the future. With experienced senior team members due to retire in the coming years, they’re now looking for someone to mentor and develop into a Project Manager and eventually a Contracts Manager to lead the Northern Division.

Your Role:

* Lead the on-site delivery of high-quality ceiling and fit-out systems

* Oversee all phases from site setup to practical completion

* Manage subcontractors and clients and liaise with internal teams, including design and manufacturing

* Ensure compliance with health, safety, and quality standards

* Coordinate with clients, contractors, and third parties for seamless delivery

* Work on projects across the North West (travel costs covered)

What You’ll Bring:

* Proven experience as a Site Manager within subcontract fit-out, ideally focused on:

* Metal ceilings

* Suspended ceilings

* Fire-rated or protected ceilings

* Chill beam ceiling systems

* Stable employment history within a ceiling or partition subcontractor

* Desire to progress long-term into Project and Contracts Management

* Flexibility to work on different sites in the region (expenses paid)

What They Offer:

* Competitive salary with car allowance

* 25 days annual leave

* Pension & Private Healthcare

* Life Insurance

* All travel expenses covered

* Structured career path to Project and Contracts Manager

* Comprehensive internal and external training

* Support from an experienced senior team (with planned succession openings)

* Opportunity to shape and influence the future of the Northern Division

* Stability from a £2BN+ global parent company

This is more than a Site Manager job — it’s a career development pathway within a forward-thinking and financially stable fit-out business. If you're ambitious, technically skilled, and ready to take your career to the next level, this is your ideal opportunity
