Site Manager – Demolition / Enabling Works

Site Manager – Demolition / Enabling Works

Midlands / UK Projects | Permanent | Competitive Salary + Package

We are recruiting for an experienced Site Manager to join one of the UK's established specialist contractors, delivering complex demolition, deconstruction and enabling works projects across the Midlands and wider UK.

This is an opportunity to join a business with an excellent reputation for tackling technically challenging projects across demolition, remediation, earthworks, civils and groundworks, working for major public and private-sector clients.

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of projects, we're looking for a Site Manager who genuinely understands demolition and can take responsibility for the safe, efficient and successful delivery of projects on site.

The Role

As Site Manager, you'll take day-to-day responsibility for your project, managing site teams, specialist operatives, subcontractors, plant and resources.

Safety will be absolutely fundamental.

You'll ensure projects are properly planned, controlled and delivered in accordance with programme, RAMS, current legislation and the company's high standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

Day-to-day management of demolition projects

Managing site operatives and subcontractors

Planning and coordinating works

Managing plant, machinery and site resources

Ensuring RAMS are understood and followed

Site inductions and daily briefings

Health, safety and environmental management

Monitoring programme and progress

Maintaining accurate site records and diaries

Quality control

Client liaison

Managing site logistics

Coordinating waste and materials

Producing regular progress reports

Identifying and resolving potential site issues

Driving projects through to safe and successful completion

Your Background

This role requires somebody with genuine demolition experience.

We're particularly interested in Site Managers who have delivered projects involving areas such as:

Structural Demolition | Deconstruction | High-Reach Demolition | Soft Strip | Enabling Works | Site Clearance | Temporary Works | Remediation | Earthworks

You should have a strong understanding of demolition methodology, sequencing, risk management and the particular health & safety requirements associated with complex demolition projects.

Ideally, you'll have:

Significant demolition industry experience

Previous experience operating at Site Manager level

CCDO Demolition Manager Black Card or equivalent

Strong health & safety knowledge

Experience managing demolition operatives and specialist subcontractors

Excellent understanding of RAMS

Experience coordinating heavy plant and machinery

Strong organisational and programming ability

Excellent client-facing communication skills

Good IT and reporting skills

Full UK driving licence

You'll also need to be flexible regarding travel, as projects can be located throughout the UK.

The Projects

No two projects are going to be exactly the same.

You could be managing complex structural demolition, city-centre regeneration, industrial deconstruction, education projects, commercial buildings, brownfield redevelopment or enabling works ahead of major construction schemes.

Projects can involve challenging live environments, high-rise structures, temporary works, hazardous materials, restricted sites and complex interfaces with surrounding buildings and infrastructure.

The business also provides an integrated approach encompassing demolition, land remediation, earthworks, civils and groundworks, creating opportunities to gain exposure beyond traditional demolition.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

If you're from the demolition industry, you'll know there is a significant difference between working for a general contractor that occasionally carries out demolition and joining a business where demolition and specialist site preparation are at the heart of what they do.

You'll be joining an established specialist contractor with almost four decades of experience, an extensive project portfolio and continued investment in its people, plant and capabilities.

There is also genuine evidence of career progression within the operational team, with people progressing from site-based roles into Site Manager, Senior Site Manager and Project Manager positions.

For an experienced demolition Site Manager who wants challenging projects, responsibility and longer-term progression, this is an excellent opportunity.

Package

Competitive salary + package, dependent upon experience.

Company vehicle and associated benefits available.
