Senior Site Manager

Role Overview

Within the construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. At any given time, you’ll find us working on some 400 developments in both towns and rural areas across the UK, and each poses unique challenges. Some are from scratch on brownfield sites; others see us adapting existing buildings, like old factories or disused hospitals.

We need people who can bring us fresh ideas and imagination on one hand, and the commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs on the other. Since 2004, Site Managers have won more NHBC Pride in the Job Awards than any other housebuilder, showing the professionalism of our construction teams.
