The Company
An established main contractor with a strong pipeline of commercial and refurbishment projects across the South West is seeking an experienced Site Manager to join a £10m commercial build and refurbishment scheme on the Isles of Scilly.

* Strong communication and organisational skills
* Able to work independently while reporting into a Project Manager

* Freelance: £280–£320 per day, dependent on experience
* Travel and accommodation paid by the contractor
