Are you an ambitious Site Manager who takes pride in delivering high-quality construction projects on time, on budget, and to an exceptional standard?

Scanlan Construction Ltd is looking for a confident, capable and highly motivated Site Manager to join its growing construction team.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a business with a clear vision: to build a strong, respected team known for dependable, sustainable building contracting and outstanding project delivery.

At Scanlan Construction, no two projects are the same. The company works across a diverse range of sectors, including commercial construction, bespoke residences, high-end residential development, and heritage and conservation projects.

As Site Manager, you will be responsible for the effective planning, coordination and delivery of site-based activities. You will lead from the front, ensuring quality, safety, programme, client satisfaction and commercial performance are all kept firmly on track.

This role will suit someone who is technically strong, commercially aware, confident in meetings, respected by the workforce, and able to build excellent relationships with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact. You will be trusted to run a variety of construction projects, resolve technical challenges, maintain high site standards, and contribute directly to the continued success and reputation of the business.

You will be joining a company that values honesty, integrity, ambition, good communication, strong manners, confidence without arrogance, and a commitment to continual professional development. Scanlan Construction actively supports learning and development where it strengthens your skills and benefits the business.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing the planning and execution of all site-based activities.
  • Monitoring and maintaining high standards of workmanship and quality.
  • Reading, understanding and working from construction drawings and specifications.
  • Planning equipment, materials and labour requirements.
  • Managing several smaller projects at the same time.
  • Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and site teams.
  • Ensuring compliance with building regulations, health and safety standards, and site rules.
  • Resolving technical issues confidently and escalating to the design team where required.
  • Working with the commercial team to monitor financial performance and identify risks early.
  • Building strong relationships with clients and representing the company professionally.
  • Preparing reports for clients and the business.
  • Maintaining accurate site records and daily site diary entries.
  • Communicating effectively with management, employees, subcontractors and clients.
  • Leading, motivating, praising and, where required, respectfully disciplining individuals on site.

If you are an ambitious Site Manager who wants to be part of a driven, professional and growing construction business, Scanlan Construction Ltd would like to hear from you.
