Watkin Jones is on the lookout for a dynamic Site Manager to help lead an exciting new development in partnership on New Kent Road. This landmark project will bring to life a 260-unit aparthotel in the heart of Southwark, offering a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in shaping a high‑profile scheme.
About the Role:
As Site Manager, you’ll oversee the daily running of site activities, ensuring all works are carried out safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. You’ll drive progress to meet programme milestones, coordinate and manage subcontractors, and take a proactive approach to maintaining momentum and compliance on‑site.
A key part of your role will be communicating clear site instructions and coordinating subcontractor operations in line with the overall construction programme. You’ll work closely with the site team and commercial team and participate in coordination meetings as needed.
Alongside managing site operations, you’ll review and interpret drawings and plans, helping to ensure projects remain on budget and that waste is minimised. You’ll also take responsibility for specific tasks assigned by the senior management team, supporting the wider success of each development.
About You
You’ll have solid experience in a construction or development setting, with strong knowledge of site operations and health and safety practices. You hold valid SMSTS and CSCS certifications, a First Aid qualification, and ideally a Level 3 or 4 qualification such as an NVQ, Apprenticeship, or HNC in a relevant field. You’re confident reviewing construction drawings and comfortable using Microsoft Office applications. A reliable team player, you work collaboratively to achieve shared outcomes and may already have experience supervising subcontractors or working in roles such as Assistant Site Manager or Site Manager. Additional training in site safety or tools would be beneficial.
