Assistant Site Manager - Main Contractor

Assistant Site Manager – Industrial & Logistics

West Midlands | Multiple Sites | Permanent

We are looking to recruit 2–3 Assistant Site Managers for an established and successful main contractor specialising in the delivery of industrial, logistics and commercial construction projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for ambitious Assistant Site Managers looking to build their experience with a contractor delivering projects across the Midlands and wider UK.

The roles will initially be based from Sandwell, but you will work between live projects depending on workload and project requirements. A full UK driving licence and your own ability to travel between sites is therefore essential.

The Role

Working alongside experienced Site Managers and Project Managers, you'll support the day-to-day delivery of industrial and logistics construction projects.

Projects typically involve new-build industrial units, warehouses and logistics facilities incorporating steel frames, cladding, concrete floor slabs, offices, service yards, car parks and associated external works.

Your responsibilities will develop with your experience and will include:

• Supporting the Site Manager with day-to-day site operations

• Coordinating subcontractors and trades

• Monitoring programme and progress

• Health & safety management

• Quality inspections and snagging

• Site documentation and record keeping

• Assisting with short-term programming

• Attending site and progress meetings

• Liaising with subcontractors, consultants and the wider project team

• Helping drive projects through to successful completion

About You

We're interested in Assistant Site Managers who already have some construction site management experience and are looking for the opportunity to progress.

Industrial/logistics experience would be particularly advantageous, although candidates from a strong general contracting background will also be considered.

You'll need to be organised, confident communicating with subcontractors and keen to continue learning and developing.

Relevant qualifications such as SMSTS/SSSTS, CSCS and First Aid would be advantageous.

A full UK driving licence is essential as the position will involve travelling between sites.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine career opportunity rather than simply another Assistant Site Manager vacancy.

You'll be working alongside experienced construction professionals on substantial industrial and logistics schemes, gaining exposure to the complete project lifecycle and developing towards running your own projects.

If you're an Assistant Site Manager looking for progression with an established main contractor, please send me your CV or contact me directly for a confidential conversation.

All applications will be treated in complete confidence.
