Job Description

Site Manager / Project Manager (New Build - Commercial) - Permanent
Location: South Wales (site-based with regional travel)
Salary: Up to £70,000 + Company Vehicle or Car Allowance
Contract: Permanent
A well-established regional contractor in South Wales is expanding its new build delivery team and is looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager or Project Manager on a permanent basis. This position is focused on commercial new build projects across a range of building types (not housing), offering long-term stability and a strong pipeline of work.
Projects are typically in the £5m–£6m range and require strong programme control, quality management, subcontractor coordination and confident site leadership from mobilisation through to handover.
The Role
Depending on your background, you’ll take responsibility for either site delivery or end-to-end project ownership, ensuring safe, compliant and high-quality delivery throughout the build.
Key responsibilities:
  * Manage the build programme from groundworks to completion, ensuring quality and productivity throughout
  * Lead subcontractors and site teams, driving standards and “right first time” delivery
  * Deliver short-term planning (lookaheads), logistics and sequencing to hit milestones
  * Ensure compliance with H&S legislation and company procedures; deliver inductions, toolbox talks and site briefings
  * Manage QA processes: inspections, test plans, snagging and structured handovers
  * Coordinate design, consultants and subcontractors to resolve technical issues and maintain buildability
  * Manage interfaces with M&E, specialist packages and utilities to protect programme and quality
  * Liaise with client representatives and statutory bodies (e.g., Building Control) where required
  * Produce accurate site reporting: progress, risks, labour/resource needs and programme recovery actions
  * Support procurement and manage material/package lead times to prevent delays
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
  * Proven experience delivering commercial new build projects as a Site Manager and/or Project Manager
  * Strong understanding of programme, sequencing, quality controls and subcontractor management
  * Confident communicator with solid reporting and stakeholder management skills
  * SMSTS
  * CSCS
  * Full UK driving licence
Highly desirable:
  * Experience delivering projects in the £5m+ range (or similar complexity)
  * Strong package management and interface coordination (including M&E)
  * First Aid at Work
  * Familiarity with structured commissioning, handover processes and quality documentation standards
  * Experience managing logistics, access constraints, or stakeholder-sensitive sites
What’s on Offer
  * Permanent role with a dedicated focus on commercial new build delivery
  * Salary up to £70,000 (depending on experience)
  * Company vehicle or car allowance
  * Strong pipeline, supportive team environment and clear opportunity to grow within the new build workstream
