  * Chairing site and progress meetings with the client and design team

  * Reporting progress, issues, and programme updates to the visiting Contracts Manager

  * Managing site records, RAMS, and progress reporting

About You

  * Proven experience as a Site Manager or Lead Site Manager, ideally on cladding, retrofit, or refurbishment projects

  * Experience working on occupied residential buildings, with strong public and client-facing skills

  * Comfortable managing logistically challenging city-centre sites, working autonomously day-to-day

  * Valid CSCS card and First Aid certification essential

  * SMSTS essential; scaffold inspection qualification a plus

  * Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

  * Must live within an easy daily commute of Plymouth

  * Full UK driving licence

What's on Offer

  * £45,000–£55,000 per annum, dependent on experience

  * Car allowance or company van

  * Private medical insurance

  * Life insurance
