Senior Site Manager – King’s Lynn
£60,000 – £70,000 + Package
New build & refurbishment | Long-term regional workload
The Opportunity
This role is with a long-established regional contractor that has built its reputation on well-run sites, repeat clients, and a leadership team that understands construction from the ground up.
The business has a secured pipeline of work across West Norfolk and the wider East of England, delivering a mix of new build and refurbishment projects across education, healthcare, commercial and public-sector environments. Projects are sensibly procured, properly resourced, and planned to be delivered well, not rushed through.
They are now strengthening their site leadership with a Senior Site Manager who takes pride in running organised, safe, professional sites and wants long-term stability rather than chasing the next short-term project.

The Role
As Senior Site Manager, you will have full responsibility for the day-to-day management of live construction sites, acting as the senior presence on site and setting the standard for safety, quality and programme.
