Site Manager

Fawkes & Reece are working with a well-established housebuilder to recruit an experienced Site Manager to oversee a 70-unit timber frame residential development in Congleton on an ongoing basis.

This is a smaller, more hands-on development, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to take ownership of the site and play a key role in its overall delivery. You will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations, ensuring plots progress safely, efficiently and in line with programme, quality standards and company requirements.

Previous experience delivering timber frame housing developments is essential for this position. You will need a strong understanding of timber frame construction, erection and sequencing, together with the ability to manage the full build process and coordinate multiple trades through to completion and handover.

Key Duties:

You will take ownership of the day-to-day running of the development, coordinating timber frame contractors, subcontractors, labour, materials and plant to keep the site progressing to programme. Due to the size of the development, a proactive and hands-on approach will be important, with the successful candidate expected to have good visibility across all areas of the site and build process.

You will monitor construction quality, workmanship and health & safety, with particular attention to timber frame erection, sequencing and the building envelope. You will also oversee plot progression through timber frame, roofing, external envelope, 1st and 2nd fix, finishing works and handover.

Working closely with the wider project team, timber frame contractor and subcontractors, you will identify and resolve issues quickly to minimise any impact on programme, quality or delivery.

You will also be responsible for maintaining accurate site records, short-term programmes and targets, inspections and progress reporting, while ensuring high standards of workmanship, site presentation and health & safety are maintained throughout.

Qualifications:

• CSCS
• SMSTS
• First Aid
• MUST have demonstrable and referenceable experience working on timber frame housing developments
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety requirements
