Job Description – Assistant Site Manager
Project: Student Accommodation Development
Location: Exeter, Devon
Reporting to: Site Manager / Project Manager
Role Overview
We are seeking an enthusiastic and proactive Assistant Site Manager to join the team on a student accommodation development in Exeter. The role will initially involve assisting with the handover of the structural frame before progressing into the management and coordination of internal construction and fit-out works through to completion.
Working closely with the Site Manager and wider project team, you will help ensure that works are delivered safely, on programme, to the required quality standards and in accordance with project specifications. This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Site Manager to gain experience across the later stages of a major residential development, from frame handover through to internal finishes and final completion.
