- Liaise with subcontractors, consultants and the wider project team.
- Ensure RAMS, permits and site procedures are being followed correctly.
- Provide regular progress updates to the Site-Based Project Manager.
- Take a proactive, hands-on approach to resolving site issues and keeping works moving.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Proven experience working as a No.1 Site Manager on commercial fit-out projects.
- Strong experience within commercial offices, CAT A/CAT B fit-out or similar environments.
- Experience working on high-value projects, ideally £10m .
- Experience within life sciences, laboratory, pharmaceutical, healthcare or technically complex environments would be highly advantageous.
- Strong subcontractor management and coordination experience.
- A practical, hands-on approach to site management.
- The confidence to take ownership of site activities and work closely with the Project Manager.
- Excellent communication and organisational skills.
- A strong understanding of health, safety, quality and programme requirements.
- SMSTS
- CSCS
- First Aid at Work
- Strong commercial fit-out experience.
- Proven experience managing subcontractors and site activities.
- Ability to start ASAP.
