Site Manager

Site Manager

We''re working with one of the UK''s leading residential developers to recruit a Site Manager for a flagship multi-phased development combining both traditional build and timber frame construction in west Sussex

This is a significant project and one that will be a major focus for the region over the coming years. Delivering a mix of high-quality homes across multiple phases and brands, the development offers the scale, complexity, and longevity that many Site Managers are looking for but rarely find.

You''ll be joining an established project team and reporting directly into an experienced Project Manager, while leading your own section of the development and managing a team beneath you. This is a role that offers genuine responsibility, the opportunity to influence delivery, and the chance to play a key part in one of the region''s most important residential schemes.

The business is looking for someone who enjoys building teams, maintaining standards, and creating a site environment where quality, programme, and customer satisfaction are all given equal importance.

The Role

This is a role for someone who enjoys being visible on site, leading from the front, and taking ownership of their section of the build.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a key phase of a large multi-phased residential development
• Leading Assistant Site Managers, Trainees, and subcontractors across your area of responsibility
• Coordinating both traditional build and timber frame construction activities
• Driving programme performance while maintaining high standards of quality and safety
• Managing NHBC inspections and ensuring plots are delivered to the required standards
• Monitoring build progress and proactively resolving issues before they impact delivery
• Working closely with the Project Manager to achieve production and business objectives
• Maintaining strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
• Creating a positive, organised, and high-performing site culture
• Supporting the development and progression of junior team members

What We''re Looking For

• Must have experience as a Site Manager within residential housebuilding
• Strong background delivering traditional build developments
• Timber frame experience would be highly advantageous
• Previous experience with a PLC developer or high-volume housebuilder
• Excellent understanding of NHBC standards and inspection processes
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Someone who takes pride in delivering quality homes and developing strong site teams
• A proactive manager who enjoys working on large, fast-moving developments

What''s On Offer

• Up to -75,000 basic salary
• Competitive package including bonus, car allowance, pension, and additional benefits
• Opportunity to join one of the region''s flagship residential developments
• Long-term project security on a multi-phased scheme
• Support from an experienced Project Manager and operational leadership team
• Clear progression opportunities within a leading residential developer
• The chance to lead your own team and make a genuine impact on a major project

This role would suit a Site Manager who enjoys working on larger developments, thrives in a team environment, and wants to be part of a project that will leave a lasting mark on the local area. If you enjoy leading people, maintaining standards, and seeing a development come to life phase by phase, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved.
