The Company

You'll be joining an established UK structural steel specialist with more than 75 years in the industry, delivering projects ranging from straightforward building frames to complex structures across the UK and Europe. With the manufacturing capability to process 50,000 tonnes of steel a year, the business has the scale and experience to take on substantial projects.

• Drive site safety, making sure working practices meet current legislation and site procedures.

• Track progress against the programme, identifying delays early and taking action before they affect delivery.

• Coordinate with clients and project teams to keep communication clear and resolve issues as they arise.

The Candidate

You'll need hands-on experience of structural steelwork erection, including lining and levelling, and the confidence to manage activities on site.

Essential:

• Experience in structural steelwork erection, including lining and levelling.

• Proven health and safety experience.

• An appropriate CSCS card.

Desirable:

• A recognised site safety qualification, such as the CITB Site Managers Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS).

• Option to purchase additional holidays.

You'll be working on structural steelwork projects where effective site management makes a direct difference to safety, quality and delivery.
