We're recruiting for a Site Manager to take the lead on a 75-unit timber frame development in the Surrey Hills, joining a highly regarded residential developer with a reputation for producing high-specification homes and maintaining exceptionally high standards throughout the build process.
This development offers the opportunity to take ownership of a well-planned site from the early stages of construction, working alongside an experienced visiting Contracts Manager while having the autonomy to manage the day-to-day running of the development.

Your responsibilities will include:
Managing the day-to-day delivery of a 75-unit timber frame residential development
Coordinating subcontractors and ensuring works progress in line with programme
Maintaining high standards of health & safety, organisation and site presentation
Managing NHBC inspections and ensuring each stage of the build is completed to the required standard
Monitoring build quality throughout the construction process and resolving issues before they impact programme
Working closely with the visiting Contracts Manager to review progress, plan upcoming phases and achieve key milestones
Building strong working relationships with subcontractors, suppliers and the wider project team
Leading from the front by creating a positive, organised and professional site culture
Ensuring every home is completed to a consistently high standard before handover
What We're Looking For
Experience as a Site Manager within residential housebuilding
Previous timber frame experience is essential
Strong understanding of NHBC standards and inspection processes
Experience working for a PLC developer or established regional housebuilder would be advantageous
Excellent planning, organisational and communication skills
Someone who enjoys taking ownership and leading by example
A practical, solutions-focused manager who is equally comfortable motivating teams as they are managing programmes
SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications
What's On Offer
Up to £78,000 basic salary
Competitive package including car allowance, bonus, pension and additional benefits
The opportunity to lead a well-planned timber frame development with the support of an experienced visiting Contracts Manager
Long-term career progression with a respected residential developer that continues to invest in its people
A collaborative working environment where high standards, teamwork and personal development are genuinely encouraged
The opportunity to build a development you'll be proud to put your name to
