Assistant Site Manager

Overview

Within the Construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. At any given time, you’ll find us working on some circa 400 developments in both towns and rural areas across the UK, and every one poses unique challenges. Some are from scratch on brownfield sites; others see us adapting existing buildings, like old factories or disused hospitals.

We need people who can bring fresh ideas and imagination, alongside the commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs. The professionalism of our construction teams is demonstrated by the unprecedented thirteenth-year record for NHBC Pride in the Job Awards awarded to Site Managers, more than any other house builder.
