Senior Site Manager (Freelance)

We are recruiting for an experienced Construction Manager to deliver a £2m CAT B office fit-out project in Nottingham, scheduled to run from September through to January/February.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established commercial fit-out contractor on a flagship regional project. Due to the project location and structure of the wider team, we're looking for a stand-alone Construction Manager capable of taking full ownership of the site and acting as the contractor's day-to-day representative throughout the programme.

As the lead site-based professional, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of project delivery, ensuring works are completed safely, to programme, within specification, and to the high standards expected by both the client and contractor.

This position requires someone who is comfortable operating autonomously, making informed decisions on site, driving subcontractor performance, and maintaining excellent communication with all project stakeholders.

A key element of the role will also involve supporting the pre-construction phase by attending tender and client meetings prior to project award.

• Take full ownership of the site from mobilisation through to completion
• Manage and coordinate all subcontractors and direct labour
• Drive programme and ensure project milestones are achieved
• Maintain quality standards and oversee snagging processes
• Ensure compliance with all health & safety requirements
• Chair site meetings and coordinate project activities
• Monitor progress against drawings, specifications, and programme
• Liaise with clients, consultants, design teams, and building management
• Produce short-term look-ahead programmes and progress updates
• Resolve technical and logistical issues as they arise
• Support tender and pre-construction meetings where required
• Represent the contractor professionally throughout the project lifecycle

• Proven experience delivering CAT A and CAT B commercial fit-out projects
• Previous experience operating as a stand-alone Construction Manager or No.1 Site Manager
• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery
• Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to manage projects independently with minimal supervision
• Strong programme management and subcontractor coordination experience
• Experience working on projects valued between £1m and £5m+
• SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications

• High-profile £2m CAT B office fit-out project
• Long-term contract running through to early next year
• Opportunity to take full ownership of a project
• Supportive and well-established fit-out contractor
• Potential pipeline of future projects upon successful delivery

If you're an experienced Construction Manager looking for a project where you can genuinely take ownership and drive delivery from start to finish, we'd like to hear from you.
