We're working with a well-established residential developer that has built its reputation on delivering thoughtfully designed communities where quality, character and attention to detail take centre stage. Rather than chasing high-volume production, they focus on creating developments that complement their surroundings and homes that people are genuinely proud to own.
They're now looking to appoint a Senior Site Manager to lead a brand-new 100-unit traditional build development from the very beginning.
You'll have full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the development, supported by an Assistant Site Manager, with the opportunity to shape the site from its earliest stages through to the final handover. It's the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often-one where you can establish the standards, build the culture, and create a development that reflects your own approach to construction.
The Role
As the lead on site, you'll be responsible for creating a well-organised, positive and high-performing working environment where programme, quality and customer satisfaction remain at the forefront throughout the build.
Your responsibilities will include:
Leading the delivery of a 100-unit traditional build residential development from inception through to completion
Managing and mentoring an Assistant Site Manager while developing a motivated and collaborative site team
Coordinating subcontractors and ensuring works progress safely, efficiently and in line with programme
Driving exceptional build quality throughout every stage of construction
Managing NHBC inspections and ensuring plots consistently achieve the highest standards
Creating a site culture built around organisation, accountability and attention to detail
Working closely with the Contracts Manager and wider business to deliver programme and commercial objectives
Building strong working relationships with subcontractors, consultants and suppliers
Maintaining outstanding health & safety standards across the development
Taking ownership of the customer journey by ensuring homes are delivered to an exceptional standard
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who enjoys leading from the front.
Someone who takes pride in creating well-run sites, supports the people around them, and understands that the small details are often what make the biggest difference.
You'll ideally have:
Proven experience as a Senior Site Manager within residential housebuilding
Strong traditional build experience
Excellent knowledge of NHBC standards and inspection processes
Previous experience working for a residential developer or quality-led housebuilder
Strong organisational and leadership skills
The ability to build positive relationships with subcontractors and the wider project team
A proactive approach and genuine passion for delivering homes to a high standard
What's On Offer
Up to £80,000 basic salary
Competitive package and bonus
Opportunity to lead your own development as the Number One on site
Support from an experienced operational leadership team
Clear opportunities for career progression as the business continues to grow
Long-term project pipeline with a respected residential developer
If you're a Senior Site Manager who enjoys taking ownership, developing people, and delivering homes with care and attention rather than simply chasing programmes, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where your approach and leadership will genuinely make a difference.
