We are looking for an experienced Working Site Manager or Working Foreman to oversee a fast-paced retail refurbishment project in central Nottingham.

• Managing the day-to-day running of the site

• Driving the existing carpenters and labourers

• Maintaining health and safety standards

• Monitoring quality and progress against the programme

• Managing snagging and ensuring work is completed to the required standard

• Appropriate CSCS card

• Previous shopfitting, retail fit-out or refurbishment experience

• Strong hands-on carpentry or joinery background

• Confident managing and motivating trades on a fast-paced project

• Temporary Works qualification would be beneficial but is not essential

This is not a purely office-based management role. We need somebody proactive, practical and comfortable getting involved when required.
