TRIbuild Solutions is recruiting a Works Manager to join a major civils and infrastructure programme at Sellafield - one of the UK's most complex and strategically critical nuclear decommissioning sites.

You will lead and manage the site supervision team - including subcontractors - ensuring the highest standards of HSQE compliance throughout, while supporting the wider project management team in driving performance and programme.

This is a visible, hands-on leadership role that demands strong supervisory experience, sound commercial awareness, and the ability to manage multiple teams in a busy, security-controlled environment.

• Assist the Project Manager with client-directed changes and the ongoing maintenance of management plans
• Monitor, document and report on works progress in accordance with company procedures
• Attend regular project meetings; input into document control systems and learning from experience reviews
• Authorise labour, plant and subcontractor timesheets and sign off material receipts

• Proven experience as a Works Manager or Senior Site Supervisor on major civils, structures or infrastructure projects
• Experience within a nuclear, MOD or other highly regulated/security-controlled environment is highly desirable
• SMSTS qualified; valid CSCS card
• Strong leadership and people management skills, with the ability to influence and motivate mixed teams
• Sound understanding of CDM regulations, HSQE requirements and behavioural safety
• Good commercial and financial awareness, including subcontractor management
• Computer literate; experience of document control systems (e.g. Themis) is advantageous
• Full UK driving licence preferred

• Salary of circa £65,000 depending on experience
• Competitive benefits package
• Permanent position with long-term programme security
• A high-profile leadership role on one of the UK's most important infrastructure programmes
