Job Description
Senior Site Manager – Progression to Project Manager (Temp to Perm)
💰 Rate: Up to £350 per shift
📍 UK-wide Projects | Initial project live
📅 Start: ASAP
We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on Site Manager with a strong residential or civils background to step into a live project and take full control of delivery. This isn’t a role for someone learning the ropes — we need someone with a proven track record of driving quality, safety, and momentum on high-spec builds.
The current project involves building a new brick-built substation on a reinforced concrete base — not a modular or steel frame — with associated trenching and cable route works. It's a technically led, detail-critical job that needs a manager who understands SHEQ standards inside out and can coordinate multiple trades to get the job over the line.
This is a temp-to-perm role, with the right candidate transitioning directly to the client after an initial short-term period. For the right individual, there’s a clear route to become Project Manager within 6 months, with the chance to shape and lead future works across the UK.
What You’ll Be Walking Into:
*
A live, partially set-up project – RAMS, site logistics, and early works already in place
*
A technically focused build requiring precision, leadership, and site experience
*
A company that backs strong performers and offers a natural progression path
Responsibilities:
*
Full day-to-day control of the site – from groundwork through to handover
*
Managing subcontractors across brickwork, civils, and trenching/cabling packages
*
Leading toolbox talks, daily briefs, and ensuring strict SHEQ compliance
*
Managing site paperwork, drawings, and programme targets
*
Liaising with internal teams and the client to problem-solve and maintain momentum
Ideal Candidate Profile:
*
A seasoned Site Manager with SMSTS, CSCS (Black), and First Aid
*
Experience on civils-led or residential projects – particularly where quality and compliance are critical
*
Strong communicator and organiser who can command respect on site
*
Practical knowledge of the full build cycle – ideally someone who’s progressed up through the ranks
*
Proven ability to deliver finished units to high standards, resolve defects, and engage client-side
*
Background in substations, groundwork, or reinforced concrete builds would be a real bonus
What’s On Offer:
*
Up to £350 per shift (CIS)
*
Temp-to-perm route – move to a direct contract after a short agency period
*
Clear pathway to Project Manager within 6 months
*
Accommodation and travel support for away work
*
Stable project pipeline with a client that rewards capability
