• Acting as a key point of contact for the client and maintaining strong relationships.

• Identifying issues and implementing solutions to keep programmes moving.

• Working closely with commercial and operational teams to ensure projects are delivered effectively.

• Supporting the development and performance of the wider operational team.

We're looking for an experienced Site Manager / Senior Site Manager with a strong background in social housing planned maintenance or refurbishment.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience delivering planned works within social housing.

• Experience across one or more of external refurbishment, kitchens & bathrooms and windows.

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to drive teams and programmes.

• Experience managing Supervisors, subcontractors and multiple workstreams.

• Strong client-facing, reporting and organisational skills.

• A proactive approach with the ability to identify problems and drive solutions.

• Good understanding of Health & Safety and quality requirements.

• SMSTS and relevant CSCS.

• Full UK Driving Licence.

This role offers a genuine progression route into Contracts Management.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish themselves as a key member of the operational team, take ownership of the programmes and work closely with the Operations Manager, with the aim of progressing into a Contracts Manager position within 12 months, subject to performance.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Site Manager who is ready to take the next step into senior operational management and wants a clear pathway into Contracts Management.
