Site Manager

The Recruit Lab

We're looking for a practical, switched-on Site Supervisor / Assistant Site Managers ready to take the next step in their career journey to join a growing team.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in an office and tell everyone else what to do.

We're looking for someone who understands how a site works, takes health & safety seriously, communicates well with people and is happy to get stuck in when needed.

You may already be an experienced Site Supervisor, or you could be newly qualified and ready to take the next step. What's important is that you have the right attitude, understand the basics of site operations and can take responsibility for maintaining a safe, organised and productive working environment.

What You'll Be Doing

Supervising day-to-day activities on site

Ensuring work is carried out safely and in line with company procedures

Supporting the Site Manager / Project Manager with the smooth running of the site

Communicating clearly with operatives, subcontractors and other site personnel

Monitoring work progress and helping keep activities on programme

Carrying out site checks and ensuring standards are maintained

Supporting site inductions, toolbox talks and briefings

Identifying and addressing health & safety issues before they become problems

Challenging unsafe working practices when necessary

Helping coordinate materials, equipment and deliveries

Keeping site records and completing relevant paperwork

Liaising with management and providing updates on progress or issues

Helping resolve problems as they arise

Getting involved practically when required and supporting the wider team

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

CSCS carded and able to work on construction sites

You must hold a full UK driving licence 

Experienced in a site-based environment, or newly qualified with good practical/site knowledge

Experience on commercial projects is an advantage 

Confident in understanding and following health & safety procedures

A strong communicator who can deal with people at all levels

Organised and able to prioritise

Comfortable taking responsibility and making decisions

Confident enough to challenge something when it isn't right

Practical and hands-on in their approach

Reliable, professional and willing to learn

Someone who takes pride in doing things properly

Experience & Qualifications

Essential:

Valid CSCS card appropriate to the role

Good understanding of construction/site operations

Good understanding of health & safety

Strong communication skills

Ability to work effectively as part of a site team

Desirable:

We would also consider newly qualified candidates who can demonstrate strong practical knowledge, the right attitude and a genuine interest in developing their career in site supervision.

The Person

This role will suit someone who is hands-on, switched-on and takes ownership.

You don't need to know everything on day one. What matters is that you understand the importance of doing things safely, can communicate with people, aren't afraid to ask questions and will step up when something needs dealing with.

You should be comfortable being the person on site who spots a problem, communicates it and helps find the solution.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can lead by example — safety first, communicate properly, get involved and get the job done.

What’s in It for You?

A company van or car and fuel card.

Annual bonus.

21 days holiday + bank holidays.

Christmas shutdown.

Join a supportive and social team with regular events.

If you’re ambitious, ready to learn, and keen to develop your career in site management, we’d love to hear from you!
