Responsibilities

You will lead and manage the on‑site team, advising on staffing requirements to ensure the project is delivered effectively. You will take full responsibility for on‑site Health and Safety, which requires holding valid SMSTS and CSCS certifications. You will oversee all aspects of quality management, including drawing issue control and change control, while ensuring that every stage meets the required standards. You will also plan, sequence and programme all on‑site activities to enable safe and efficient project delivery. As challenges arise, you will provide practical on‑site solutions, working closely with the Project Manager to keep the project on track. Throughout the build process, you will maintain stringent quality standards and ensure all site teams comply with HSE requirements, Building Control and relevant legislative bodies.

About You

To be considered for this role, you must hold a CSCS card—preferably a Black Card—along with SMSTS or SSSTS and First Aid at Work certification. Additional qualifications such as Scaffold Inspection, Lifting Operations and Confined Spaces Awareness are highly desirable.

A strong level of qualifications and ongoing CPD that demonstrates your commitment to your professional development will further support your application.
