Fire Remediation Site Manager

We are working with a specialist contractor delivering fa-ade remediation and fire safety projects across the UK. Due to the commencement of a major scheme in Cornwall, they are now seeking an experienced Site Manager to support the successful delivery of external wall remediation works on a high-profile residential development in Newquay.

The project relates to the full external wall remediation of Surf Pods, Newquay, following the findings of a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW). Works will involve the removal and replacement of existing cladding systems, balconies, insulation, fire barriers, cavity barriers, and associated fa-ade elements, alongside reinstatement works and M&E services.

The development will remain fully occupied throughout the duration of the project, requiring strong coordination skills, excellent health & safety management, and the ability to manage works sensitively within a live residential environment. The scheme is programmed over approximately 70 weeks and will be delivered in phased sections across multiple elevations.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a reputable and growing contractor with a strong pipeline of remediation and fa-ade projects nationwide.

• Managing day-to-day site operations and subcontractors
• Coordinating fa-ade remediation and external wall replacement works
• Overseeing scaffold and access systems throughout the programme
• Managing health, safety, quality, and environmental standards on site
• Ensuring works are delivered in line with programme and budget requirements
• Liaising with residents, consultants, clients, and subcontractors
• Coordinating phased works within a live occupied residential environment
• Managing inspections, snagging, and handover processes
• Maintaining accurate site records and progress reporting

Requirements:

• Previous experience as a Site Manager delivering fa-ade, cladding, remediation, or external envelope projects
• Experience working within occupied residential or live environments
• Strong understanding of health & safety and quality management
• Ability to manage complex sequencing and phased delivery programmes
