Description:
About the Role We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Site Manager to lead a £6.2m new-build self-storage facility project in Ashford, Surrey. Running under a JCT Design & Build contract, the project involves a steel frame structure, composite metal cladding, full internal fit-out, external works, and managing specific BAPA (Network Rail) constraints.
While this role begins on this 56-week scheme, we are looking for a strong Site Manager to join our team long-term to support ongoing commercial projects across our main operational regions. Permanent employment is strongly preferred, though a long-term self-employed (CIS) contract route will be considered for the right candidate.

Conducting site inductions, toolbox talks, and maintaining clear site documentation.

Coordinating directly with project managers, commercial teams, and external stakeholders.

Experience: Proven main contractor background managing commercial, steel-frame, or industrial/storage new-build projects from groundworks through to handover.
*
References: Minimum of two recent, verifiable references covering relevant project delivery.
*
Location: Must live within a reasonable, realistic daily commute of Ashford, Surrey.

Candidates demonstrating a history of job-hopping (e.g., multiple short-term contractor engagements per year) will not be considered.
