Environmental Site Manager

Description:

Are you a civil engineering or construction Site Manager who wants their work to matter? Do you want to build projects that protect the planet rather than pave over it?

You can join this leading specialist in river restoration, wetland creation, and environmental engineering, who are looking for a Site Manager to lead the practical, boots-on-the-ground delivery of nature-based contracting solutions.

This is a hybrid role working between their HQ in Warminster, Wiltshire but with regular travel all over the UK. You will be regularly staying away from home (again, accommodation, meals and travel all fully paid for).

This is a unique, highly specialised role, requiring a blend of solid civil engineering knowledge and a passion for environmental sciences. You will see projects through from pre-construction tabletop planning to final handover.  

What you'll be doing:

Oversee safe and efficient site mobilisation/demobilisation in line with CDM 2015 regulations and safe systems of work (SSOW).  
Induct, brief, mentor, and line-manage site crews and subcontractors, fostering a high-performing, collaborative team culture.  
Own the site programme, manage daily allocations, handle project procurement, and track budgets to drive efficiency.  
Ensure all physical works match industry best practices and strict ecological quality standards.  
Build exceptional client relationships and look for future business opportunities.

What you need:

This isn’t a standard commercial construction site. You need to be someone who thrives in complex, wet, or protected environments (like SSSIs) and values biodiversity.  
A developing or established knowledge of environmental sciences combined with practical construction industry experience.  
Strong working knowledge of CDM regulations (2015) and strict compliance habits.  
Excellent commercial acumen, as you understand the link between site progress and business unit performance.  
Team player, people-focused, collaborative, and driven to hold yourself and others accountable.  
The confidence to say "STOP" if a process compromises safety or quality.  

Why you'll love this job:

Competitive basic salary 
Car allowance
Generous holiday 25 days plus bank holidays
Healthcare cover
Paid accommodation and meals when working away
Life assurance cover
