Freelance Site Manager
Location: Luton
Duration: Immediate start – Early February 2027
Rate: Negotiable / Dependent on Experience
We are currently recruiting for an experienced Freelance Site Manager to oversee a small new-build construction project in Luton.
The project involves the construction of a new training facility, with the works including the installation of a steel frame, external brickwork and the creation of a new internal office space.
We are looking for a hands-on, self-sufficient Site Manager who has previous experience overseeing similar small-scale new-build or commercial construction projects. You will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the site, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with the programme.
Reporting into a visiting Contracts Manager, you will need to be confident managing the site independently, coordinating trades and subcontractors and keeping the project moving through to completion.
Key Responsibilities:
* Overseeing the day-to-day management and running of the site.
* Coordinating subcontractors, trades and site activities.
* Monitoring progress against the project programme and ensuring deadlines are achieved.
* Ensuring all health and safety procedures are followed and maintained.
* Managing site documentation, RAMS, toolbox talks and daily records.
* Maintaining quality standards and ensuring works are completed to specification.
* Liaising with the visiting Contracts Manager and providing regular progress updates.
* Ensuring the site is kept organised, safe and presentable throughout the project.
Requirements:
* Previous experience as a Site Manager on similar new-build or commercial construction projects.
* Experience with steel frame structures, brickwork and general building works would be highly advantageous.
* SMSTS qualification.
* Valid CSCS card.
* First Aid qualification.
* Strong organisational and communication skills.
* Ability to work independently, use initiative and manage a site with minimal supervision.
* A proactive approach with the ability to coordinate multiple trades and keep projects on programme.
The Opportunity:
This is an immediate-start freelance opportunity, with the current project scheduled to run until early February 2027.
For the right individual, there is also the potential for further projects beyond this initial assignment, should the working relationship prove successful for all parties.
If you are an experienced Site Manager available immediately and have the relevant background, we would be keen to hear from you.
