We’re currently recruiting on behalf of a leading Tier 1 main contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Site Manager on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Site Manager with a strong new-build Tier 1 background who is looking to take ownership of projects from the early stages right through to completion.

We’re looking for someone who understands what it takes to get a project out of the ground, build momentum and drive it through to successful completion.

The Role

As Senior Site Manager, you’ll take a leading role in the delivery of projects from initial mobilisation and groundworks through to completion and handover.

You’ll be responsible for coordinating the site team, subcontractors and wider supply chain, ensuring the project is delivered safely, efficiently, to programme and to the required quality standards.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who takes ownership and is confident leading a project through all stages of construction.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the delivery of new-build projects from mobilisation through to completion and handover
Take ownership of day-to-day site operations and overall construction delivery
Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and the wider supply chain

A track record of taking projects from early stages/groundworks through to completion
Excellent knowledge of construction sequencing and project delivery
Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage large site teams and supply chains
A proactive and hands-on approach to problem solving

Excellent communication and organisational skills
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can take a project from the ground up and see it through to completion — someone who can establish the right standards early, build a strong team around them and maintain momentum throughout the project.

What's on Offer?

Permanent position with a leading Tier 1 main contractor
Major new-build projects across Central East Scotland
Competitive salary and benefits package
Long-term career development and progression
Opportunity to take ownership of projects from start to finish
