Description:
Site Manager
Location: Gloucester, covering projects across the South West
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + package
A site role where your work gets noticed
Are you an experienced Site Manager looking for a business where you're trusted to run your own projects and your contribution is genuinely valued?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established, family-owned main contractor with a strong reputation across the South West. Based in Gloucester, the business has built its success on delivering quality projects, building long-term client relationships and consistently doing what it says it will do.
With a close-knit team of around 30 people, this is a business where site teams have a real voice. You'll work closely with the Contracts Manager and Directors and take full ownership of your projects from start on site through to handover.
The business
The company delivers projects predominantly across the residential, healthcare and student accommodation sectors, with typical project values from £1m to £11m.
Most projects are delivered on a design and build basis, and the business also offers a full turnkey service, from land acquisition and planning through to construction and handover. It holds places on established public sector frameworks, giving it a strong and secure forward order book.
The opportunity
As Site Manager, you'll take day-to-day control of your project and be the main point of leadership on site.
This isn't a role where you're micromanaged from head office. You'll be trusted to run your site your way, with the backing of a supportive senior team. You'll also have the chance to guide and develop assistant site managers and trainees as the business continues to grow.
What you'll be doing
Running sites day to day, from set-up through to handover
Managing subcontractors, trades and site logistics
Driving health and safety, quality and programme
Working closely with the commercial and design teams on design and build schemes
Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and end users
Managing snagging, completion and a smooth handover About you

A track record delivering new build projects up to around £11m
Experience on design and build projects
SMSTS, First Aid at Work and a CSCS card (Black or Gold)

A full UK driving licence What's in it for you?
£60,000 - £70,000 basic salary, depending on experience
A strong benefits package
Genuine ownership of your projects
