Want to take charge of a £300k residential refurbishment project while still staying hands‑on on the tools?

We're looking for a capable Working Foreman who can lead from the front, keep standards high, and drive a quality refurbishment project forward. If you're comfortable managing trades, reading drawings, and getting stuck into the work yourself, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a key role on a live residential scheme where your experience will make an immediate impact.

Reporting directly to the Project Manager, you'll oversee day‑to‑day site activities while remaining actively involved in the work on site.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing and coordinating site operations on a busy refurbishment project
• Leading and supervising up to 6 tradesmen at peak periods
• Working on the tools when required
• Reading and interpreting drawings to ensure works are delivered correctly
• Providing clear direction and maintaining productivity on site
• Monitoring quality, programme and site standards
• Ensuring work is completed safely and to specification

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience as a Working Foreman on refurbishment or residential projects
• Strong drawing interpretation skills
• Confidence managing small teams of trades and subcontractors
• Hands‑on approach with the ability to lead by example
• SSSTS (highly desirable)
• Passivhaus and air pressure testing experience (preferred)
• Strong communication and organisational skills

What's on Offer?

• £170-£200 per day depending on experience
• Shorter working day:
  07:30-15:00
• On‑site parking available
• Immediate start on a well‑funded residential project
• Opportunity to make a real impact on a project that is growing in value and scope
