Site Manager - Main contractor

Your new company
A leading Kent-based main contractor, renowned for its rapid growth and exceptional reputation, operates across education, healthcare, and public sector projects. Specialising in both new-build and refurbishment schemes, the company delivers high-quality results with a strong focus on client satisfaction. This extremely stable business boasts one of the longest average employee tenures in Kent, reflecting its commitment to staff development and retention.

Following the award of several new contracts in the Se London & Mid-Kent area, all three are refurbishments (internal and external) of private commercial buildings valued between £2-£3 million, the company is seeking an experienced Site Manager to join its dynamic team and help drive continued success on these exciting projects.

Your new role
The Site Manager will lead the £3 million refurbishment project, taking full responsibility for on-site delivery to ensure it is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. This includes managing daily site operations, coordinating subcontractors, enforcing health and safety compliance, and maintaining clear communication with clients and stakeholders. The role also involves monitoring progress, managing resources effectively, resolving issues promptly, keeping accurate records, and reporting to senior management while driving quality assurance and adherence to design specifications throughout the project.

What you'll need to succeed
Interested candidates will need experience of working for a main contractor in a site manager role, ideally running your own projects or assisting on a larger scheme. Project experience of new build and refurbishment schemes is desirable as future works will vary. First aid, CSCS and smuts qualifications are essential, as is the desire for a long-term career move working in the Kent region.
What you'll get in return
A competitive salary and package plus support with training and personal development.
