Senior Site Manager

Senior Site Manager

Central Cambridge | £9m Conversion Project

We are working with a growing developer who are looking for an experienced Senior Site Manager to take ownership of a £9m conversion project in the heart of Cambridge.

This is not a straightforward build. The project is particularly tight and technically challenging, with a significant focus on demolition, piling, basement construction, steel frame, façade and brickwork.

The development will transform an existing building into a combination of restaurant, pub and office space, creating a complex project in a highly constrained city-centre environment.

Reporting directly to the Construction Director, you will be the developer's lead presence on site and will have genuine ownership of the project's day-to-day delivery.

The Role

This is a hands-on position suited to an experienced Senior Site Manager who is comfortable taking responsibility and making things happen.

You will be responsible for:

Taking full ownership of the day-to-day running of the project
Managing and coordinating subcontractors and trades
Driving the programme and keeping the project on track
Overseeing complex works including demolition, piling, basement, steel frame, façade and brickwork
Managing site logistics within a very constrained central Cambridge location
Maintaining strict control over quality and workmanship
Ensuring the project is delivered safely and in accordance with all relevant requirements
Identifying issues early and finding practical solutions
Working closely with the Construction Director and wider professional team
Coordinating consultants, subcontractors and other project stakeholders
Providing clear updates on progress, programme and key project issues

About You

We're looking for someone who has experience when it comes to complex construction projects.

You'll ideally have:

Strong experience as a Senior Site Manager or experienced Site Manager
A proven track record delivering complex construction or refurbishment projects
Experience across demolition, piling, basement construction, steel frame, façade and brickwork
Experience working on constrained or logistically challenging sites
Strong programme and subcontractor management skills
Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities
The confidence to operate independently and take ownership
High standards when it comes to quality, safety and delivery
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work closely with senior management
