Site Manager

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 approximately 400 developments across the UK, in both towns and rural areas, each presenting unique challenges. Some projects are from scratch on brownfield sites; others involve adapting existing buildings like old factories or disused hospitals.

We need people who can bring fresh ideas and imagination, along with the commercial ability to manage people, budgets, and costs. Our construction teams are highly professional, evidenced by winning more NHBC Pride in the Job Awards than any other housebuilder for thirteen consecutive years.

Reporting to the Contracts Manager, you will manage the construction of a development, including all related pre- and post-build works, ensuring targets for health and safety, programme delivery, quality, customer care, and cost are met.

• Ensure compliance with health and safety standards, NHBC standards, building regulations, and quality standards at all times.
• Coordinate labour and resources to meet the build programme, scheduling trades proactively for optimal delivery. Manage material levels on-site to minimize stock while ensuring the programme is on track.
• Build all plots to high standards, complying with NHBC Standards, Building Regulations, specifications, and best practices.
• Conduct quality control procedures and inspections, rectifying defects promptly to avoid additional costs, delays, or quality reductions.
• Monitor and control production costs, approve payments to contractors and trades as appropriate.
• Initiate and attend plot inspections with local inspectors or NHBC, taking corrective actions to minimize RI's/BRI's.
• Conduct toolbox talks and site briefings.
• Proactively liaise with internal departments, external suppliers, and partners to ensure the build programme's success.
• Work with sales teams through regular meetings to ensure smooth delivery of homes.
• Maintain high standards of site presentation.
• Perform New Home Tours with sales advisors and customers, addressing questions and resolving issues before legal completion.
• Support the Contracts Manager in ensuring the construction team is well-resourced, clear on responsibilities, and supported through communication, training, and workload management.
• Exemplify good behaviour in health and safety, organisation, conduct, quality, and professionalism.

To succeed, you should have:

• Extensive experience managing build programmes and priorities.
• Proven ability to deliver targets through effective labour organization and team work.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain details and ensure compliance.
• Strong leadership and assertiveness to ensure high-quality delivery on site.
• Ability to prioritize and solve problems effectively.

• Deep knowledge of construction, housebuilding, health and safety, NHBC standards, and Building Regulations.
