  • Site presence: Maintain a strong presence on site, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

  •  

Candidate Requirements

  • Background: Trade background with proven site management experience.

  •  

  • Sector experience: Previous work on retail fit-out or fast track commercial projects is essential.

  •  

  • Organisation: Ability to manage paperwork, compliance, and site supervision effectively.

  •  

  • Flexibility: Willingness to work on a 12-on / 2-off rotation, with breaks between jobs.

  •  

  • Location: Based in the South West or South East, with flexibility to travel to sites across the UK (primarily southern regions).

  •  

  • Professionalism: Strong leadership and communication skills, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
