We are seeking an experienced CDM Site Supervisor to support a prestigious cultural project in Central London.

The Role

Working alongside the client's internal team, you will provide site supervision and health & safety oversight throughout the fit-out phase.

• Remain available throughout the working day while operating from the contractor's site office

Project Environment

• Up to 15 workers on site between July and October

• Generally low-risk activities, with occasional higher-risk installation works requiring supervision
