Site Manager

Site Manager - Fit Out & New Build
Location: Central London - Projects across Zones 1 and 2
Salary: £55,000 - £60,000
Benefits - Travel expenses, hands-on exposure, genuine progression route
 
The Opportunity
We are working with the same ambitious, family-run contractor operating across London''s commercial fit-out and refurbishment market. They have built a strong reputation for quality delivery, repeat business and looking after their people.
 
Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of work, they are now looking to recruit a Site Manager. This is a development hire, not a stop gap.
 
The intention is clear: invest in the right person and grow them into a fully-fledged Site Manager or Project Manager over time.
 
The Role of Site Manager
 
You will be running a commercial project in Tooting, leading the site. This is not a desk based role. It is active, hands on and varied. You will be out on site, learning how jobs are run properly from tender stage through to completion and final account.
 
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the delivery of CAT A and CAT A+ commercial fit out, new build and refurbishment projects
- Assisting with site coordination, subcontractor management and quality control
- Helping monitor programme and ensuring works are progressing as planned
- Supporting health and safety compliance across sites
- Assisting with procurement and basic commercial tracking
- Attending client and site meetings to build confidence and exposure
- Learning how to manage projects from start to finish under close mentorship
This is a role for someone who wants to graft, learn quickly and take on more responsibility as they prove themselves.
 
What They Are Looking For
- 2-4 years experience in construction as a Site Manager, or potentially someone coming off the tools who wants to move into management
- Exposure to fit out or refurbishment is ideal, but not essential
- A strong work ethic and willingness to be on site daily
- Good communication skills and confidence dealing with subcontractors and clients
- Ambition to progress into a Site Manager or Project Manager role
- London based or within 30 minutes of Central London
They are not looking for someone polished and corporate. They want someone sharp, proactive and hungry to build a long term career in construction management.
 
Why This Role Stands Out
- Direct mentorship from an experienced Contracts Manager
- Exposure to multiple live projects across Central London
- Clear pathway to step up into a full Site Manager or Project Manager role
- Strong pipeline of repeat client work
- Supportive environment where performance is recognised and rewarded
 
For someone early in their career who wants real responsibility and real progression, this is a strong platform to build from.
