Site Manager - Commercial refurbishment​/fitout

Your new company
A well-established main contractor with a strong presence across the education, healthcare, and public sectors is seeking an experienced Site Manager to join its delivery team. The business has built a reputation for successfully delivering both new-build and refurbishment projects, with a continued emphasis on quality, collaboration, and client service.

Recognised for its stability and long-standing workforce, the company places significant value on employee development, retention, and career progression. Following the recent award of several projects, an opportunity has arisen for a Site Manager to lead the refurbishment of a public sector building in Croydon, with a contract value of approximately £3 million.
This project presents a range of operational, security, and logistical considerations, offering an engaging and technically interesting challenge for an experienced construction professional. Upon completion, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on similar projects across the Greater London region as part of the company's ongoing programme of works.

Your new role
Reporting to a visiting contracts manager, you will take full responsibility for leading the project on-site, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Key duties include:
Overseeing day-to-day site operations and managing subcontractors.
Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and company policies.
Coordinating with the project team, clients, and stakeholders to maintain clear communication.
Monitoring progress, managing resources, and resolving issues promptly.
Maintaining accurate site records and reporting to senior management.
Driving quality assurance and ensuring adherence to design specifications.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be working as a site manager and have previous experience of managing your own scheme. A varied main contracting project background would be preferred. Working on high-security refurbishments again would be preferred but is not essential. This is a long-term appointment and, following the initial scheme, future works will vary within the new build and refurbishment sectors.

What you'll get in return
A competitive salary and package plus continued support with professional development.
