• Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations throughout
• Coordinating deliveries, materials and plant movements on site
• Attending site meetings and reporting progress to the client and senior management

Requirements:

• Proven Site Manager experience on school extensions, small new builds or refurbishment projects (essential)
• Experience on smaller scale projects — not large estate or volume housebuilding
• SMSTS qualification (essential)
• First Aid at Work (essential)
• CSCS card — Manager level
• Professional and customer-facing manner — comfortable dealing with school staff, parents and members of the public
