Site Manager

My Client seeking an experienced Working Site Manager to lead a high-specification £300k dental surgery fit-out in Cheshire. This is a hands‑on role suited to a site manager who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into installation works alongside managing the day‑to‑day running of the site.

You'll be responsible for driving the programme forward, coordinating trades, maintaining quality and safety standards, and directly contributing to installation tasks when required — this is not a purely supervisory position.

• Manage the site from initial strip‑out through to practical completion, ensuring the project is delivered on time and to budget
• Get hands‑on with installation works, including first and second fix, joinery, and general fit‑out tasks as needed
• Coordinate and supervise subcontractors and trades on site
• Ensure full compliance with health & safety regulations (CDM 2015), including toolbox talks, RAMS, and site inductions
• Maintain quality control in line with client and design specifications, particularly around clinical/dental‑specific fit‑out requirements
• Liaise with the client, design team, and project manager on progress, variations, and any site issues
• Manage site programme, deliveries, and logistics
• Keep accurate site records, including daily diaries, progress photos, and snagging lists
• Ensure the site remains clean, organised, and compliant throughout the works

• Proven experience as a Site Manager on commercial fit‑out projects, ideally within healthcare, dental, or medical environments
• Strong hands‑on trade background (carpentry, joinery, general building) with a willingness to actively support installation works
• SMSTS or SSSTS certification (essential)
• CSCS Card (Black/Gold preferred)
• First Aid at Work certificate
• Sound knowledge of CDM Regulations 2015
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Full UK driving licence
• Experience managing projects of a similar value (£250k-£350k) desirable
