Site Manager

Joshua Robert Recruitment
Site Manager
Location: Gloucester, covering projects across the South West
Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 + package

A site role where your work gets noticed
Are you an experienced Site Manager looking for a business where you’re trusted to run your own projects and your contribution is genuinely valued?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established, family-owned main contractor with a strong reputation across the South West. Based in Gloucester, the business has built its success on delivering quality projects, building long-term client relationships and consistently doing what it says it will do.
With a close-knit team of around 30 people, this is a business where site teams have a real voice. You’ll work closely with the Contracts Manager and Directors and take full ownership of your projects from start on site through to handover.

The business
The company delivers projects predominantly across the residential, healthcare and student accommodation sectors, with typical project values from £1m to £11m.
Most projects are delivered on a design and build basis, and the business also offers a full turnkey service, from land acquisition and planning through to construction and handover. It holds places on established public sector frameworks, giving it a strong and secure forward order book.

The opportunity
As Site Manager, you’ll take day-to-day control of your project and be the main point of leadership on site.
This isn’t a role where you’re micromanaged from head office. You’ll be trusted to run your site your way, with the backing of a supportive senior team. You’ll also have the chance to guide and develop assistant site managers and trainees as the business continues to grow.

What you’ll be doing

• Running sites day to day, from set-up through to handover
• Managing subcontractors, trades and site logistics
• Driving health and safety, quality and programme
• Working closely with the commercial and design teams on design and build schemes
• Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and end users
• Managing snagging, completion and a smooth handover

About you
You’ll be an experienced Site Manager who is comfortable taking ownership and leading from the front.
Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Main contractor experience, ideally within residential, care, healthcare or student accommodation
• A track record delivering new build projects up to around £11m
• Experience on design and build projects
• SMSTS, First Aid at Work and a CSCS card (Black or Gold)
• Confidence reading drawings and coordinating trades
• A strong health, safety and quality mindset
• The confidence to deal directly with clients and stakeholders
• The personality to thrive in a smaller, family-run contractor where your contribution will be noticed
• A full UK driving licence

What’s in it for you?

• £60,000 – £70,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• A strong benefits package
• Genuine ownership of your projects
• A varied pipeline of residential, healthcare and student accommodation schemes
• A stable, family-owned contractor with a strong forward order book
• The chance to join a business where good people are trusted, valued and given room to progress

Interested?
If you want to run your own projects for an established contractor that backs its site teams, this could be a great next move.
