Position Type: Temporary (with strong Temp-to-Perm potential)
Sector: Major Project / High-Rise Residential / Mixed-Use
Salary/Rate: Competitive (Dependent on experience)
About the Role
We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Site Manager to lead a flagship development in Middlesbrough. This is a prominent, high-profile project requiring a heavyweight manager to oversee the scheme through critical phases. This is an initial temporary position with a clear and genuine pathway to transition into a permanent role.
As the Senior Site Manager, you will take operational ownership of the project, managing both the external envelope and internal fit-out teams. We need someone who has "been there and done it"-a professional who understands what it takes to drive a major project through its full life cycle from breaking ground to final handover.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage daily on-site operations, ensuring the project is delivered on schedule, within budget, and to impeccable quality standards.
Oversee the full project life cycle, seamlessly managing the transition from external envelope/facade completion through to high-spec internal fit-outs and finishes.
Coordinate, schedule, and manage multiple sub-contractors, ensuring clear communication, accountability, and productivity.
Drive a culture of absolute health and safety compliance, regularly reviewing RAMS and conducting site inductions and toolbox talks.
Collaborate closely with the project management team, commercial team, and external stakeholders to flag risks early and implement practical solutions.
Lead quality control inspections and manage the snagging and handover processes to ensure a flawless finish.
What We Are Looking For
Full-Cycle Experience: A proven track record as a Senior Site Manager seeing major, large-scale projects through from inception/early stages to final delivery.
Balanced Expertise: Equal strength and confidence managing both externals (cladding, facades, structures) and internals (fit-out, MEP integration, finishes).
Tier 1 Background: Prior experience working with a Tier 1 main contractor is highly desirable, bringing the structure, process, and standards required for a landmark scheme.
Leadership: Strong presence on-site with the ability to motivate teams, resolve conflicts, and drive progress under pressure.
