Senior Site Manager

Senior Site Manager - Residential House building

Gloucestershire | Permanent | £70,000-£75,000 + Car/Allowance + Bonus

An established, high-performing residential developer is seeking an exceptional Senior Site Manager to lead major live developments in the Gloucester area. These are not standard site roles - we are specifically looking for top-tier, award-winning site leaders with proven delivery capability in volume house building. This opportunity is suited to a hands‑on, highly driven Site Manager who thrives in the detail, leads from the front, and takes personal ownership of quality, safety, and programme delivery.

You will lead two active sites within proximity – a large timber frame scheme and a major masonry‑led development – where sites operate independently and require a Site Manager who can take full operational control with a lean support team. You will take full responsibility for day‑to‑day site leadership, programme control, quality inspections, and safe delivery. This is a visible, accountable role requiring consistent on‑site presence and proactive decision‑making.
