Working Foreman

| £200 per day | 07:30-15:00 | Start by 2nd November | 3-Week Contract

Want to take charge of a £300k residential refurbishment project while still staying hands‑on on the tools?

We’re looking for a capable Working Foreman who can lead from the front, keep standards high, and drive a quality refurbishment project forward. If you’re comfortable managing trades, reading drawings, and getting stuck into the work yourself, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a key role on a live residential scheme where your experience will make an immediate impact.

The Project

You’ll be working on the refurbishment and refit of a detached property, including a small extension. The project is currently valued at £260k and is expected to increase to around £300k as works progress.

Reporting directly to the Project Manager, you’ll oversee day‑to‑day site activities while remaining actively involved in the work on site.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing and coordinating site operations on a busy refurbishment project
• Leading and supervising up to 6 tradesmen at peak periods
• Working on the tools when required
• Reading and interpreting drawings to ensure works are delivered correctly
• Providing clear direction and maintaining productivity on site
• Monitoring quality, programme and site standards
• Ensuring work is completed safely and to specification

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a Working Foreman on refurbishment or residential projects
• Strong drawing interpretation skills
• Confidence managing small teams of trades and subcontractors
• Hands‑on approach with the ability to lead by example
• SSSTS (highly desirable)
• Passivhaus and air pressure testing experience (preferred)
• Strong communication and organisational skills

What’s on Offer?

• £170-£200 per day depending on experience
• Shorter working day: 07:30-15:00
• On-site parking available
• Immediate start on a well‑funded residential project
• Opportunity to make a real impact on a project that is growing in value and scope

If you’re a reliable, hands‑on Foreman who can organise a site, manage trades and keep work moving to programme, we’d like to hear from you.
