Senior Site Manager

I'm currently working with a leading Tier 1 Principal Contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Site Manager to join their team on a major £50m redevelopment scheme in Norwich.

This is a significant project and an excellent opportunity for a Senior Site Manager who enjoys working on complex, high-value builds and wants to play a key role in delivering a major scheme from the ground up.

Reporting directly into the Project Manager, you'll act as the number two on site, taking significant responsibility for the day-to-day delivery and operational performance of the project.

We're looking for someone with strong all-round principal contractor build experience who is comfortable operating across the full construction process and managing large teams, subcontractors and multiple work streams.

The role

Act as number two to the Project Manager, supporting the overall delivery of the £50m scheme
Take ownership of day-to-day site operations and construction delivery
Lead and manage Site Managers, engineers, subcontractors and supply chain partners
Drive programme, quality, health & safety and productivity across the project
Coordinate multiple construction packages and ensure works are delivered to programme
Work closely with the Project Manager, commercial team, design team and client
Manage site logistics, sequencing and interfaces across a complex redevelopment
Identify and resolve issues proactively, keeping the project moving

What we're looking for

The ideal candidate will be an experienced Senior Site Manager / No.2 Site Manager with a strong track record working for a principal contractor, ideally within a Tier 1 environment.

You'll need:

Strong all-round construction/build experience
Experience working on large-scale projects, ideally £30m+
Proven ability to lead sizeable site teams and subcontractor packages
Strong programme and sequencing knowledge
Excellent understanding of construction methodology and buildability
The credibility and experience to operate as the Project Manager's right hand

Tier 1 experience is highly desirable, but the key requirement is someone who has genuinely led complex construction delivery and can operate effectively at Senior Site Manager level on a £50m scheme.

You'll be joining a Tier 1 contractor with a strong pipeline of work, offering long-term security and the opportunity to work on further major projects following this scheme.

For the right person, this represents an excellent opportunity to step into a high-profile £50m project, work closely with an experienced Project Manager and take a significant leadership role in the delivery of a major redevelopment
