Site Manager - Internals

A leading main contractor is currently looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager with a strong commercial fit-out background to join a major mixed-use development in Luton.

The role will focus on the internal fit-out of a substantial commercial and community building, taking the space from white box / shell-and-core condition through to completion.

This is an opportunity for a Site Manager who is comfortable taking ownership of internal packages, coordinating multiple trades and driving a fit-out programme within a large, complex construction environment.

• Take responsibility for the internal fit-out of a large commercial/community building
• Manage the works from white box onwards through to completion and handover
• Coordinate subcontractors and specialist fit-out trades
• Manage the sequencing of drylining, ceilings, flooring, joinery, decorations, MEP interfaces and associated finishes
• Work closely with the project team to deliver the fit-out programme
• Monitor progress, quality and workmanship across all internal packages
• Coordinate multiple trades and subcontractors working concurrently
• Identify and resolve programme, quality and coordination issues
• Undertake regular inspections and manage snagging through to completion
• Liaise with the construction, commercial, design and engineering teams
• Ensure works are delivered in accordance with the programme, specification and health & safety requirements
• Drive the building towards practical completion and successful handover

The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience as a Site Manager within commercial construction or fit-out
• Strong experience delivering commercial interiors from white box / shell-and-core through to completion
• Experience managing multiple internal trades and specialist subcontractors
• A strong understanding of MEP coordination within commercial environments
• Excellent knowledge of finishes, quality control and construction sequencing
• Experience working to demanding programmes within a large project environment
• Strong subcontractor management and communication skills
• A proactive approach to problem solving and delivery
• Relevant construction qualifications, ideally including SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid

This is a strong opportunity for a commercially focused Site Manager to take ownership of a significant internal fit-out package within a major town-centre regeneration project.

The successful candidate will be joining an established project team and will have genuine responsibility for driving the internal works from white box through to finished, handover-ready spaces.
