Our work spans new residential and industrial development as well as the management of a diverse UK portfolio, including around 5,000 residential plots and over £2 billion in commercial and industrial assets.

We are entering an exciting period of growth and are keen to welcome bright, personable and self‑motivated individuals who have a real passion for real estate. This is an excellent time to join a dynamic team committed to continual improvement, delivery and success.

The right person

We are looking for a talented Site Manager to join our team in the North West, working full‑time on our pipeline of active developments, including a landmark building within Manchester city centre and heritage projects, consisting of office refurbishments and transformations. A high level of experience with office space regeneration would be advantageous.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast‑paced, thriving business where your contribution will be valued and where genuine progression is available.

As the Site Manager, you will be responsible for developing detailed project plans that set out timelines, budgets and resource allocation to ensure each scheme is delivered successfully. You will lead and coordinate a multidisciplinary team of construction professionals, subcontractors and suppliers, guiding them through all stages of the build. Central to the role is managing subcontractor packages, overseeing health and safety on site, and ensuring that all design information is managed effectively from RIBA Stage 3 through to completion at Stage 6.

You will uphold the highest levels of quality and compliance throughout the construction process, ensuring all works meet both industry regulations and internal standards. You will also take ownership of cost control, monitoring budgets, identifying efficiencies and managing risks to keep each project on schedule and within financial targets. Regular communication with stakeholders will be essential, providing clear updates, addressing concerns and ensuring alignment throughout the project lifecycle. In addition, you will oversee procurement activity, negotiate and manage contracts, ensure regulatory compliance, and report directly to the Construction Director.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will ideally hold an SMSTS. You will bring proven experience as a Construction Site Manager, particularly within office refurbishments, renovations and fit‑out projects, along with strong technical knowledge and familiarity with construction management software. You will have excellent problem‑solving skills, sound decision‑making abilities, and exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, enabling you to lead teams confidently and maintain strong working relationships across the project.
