We are looking for Site Managers with Frameworks and/or Fitout experience. Exposure to new build construction in a live environment is preferable. Our existing project portfolio covers clients such as Britvic (manufacturing plant), and various commercial and retail clients.

The successful candidates will hold a thorough working knowledge of site set up and delivery to enable the safe, timely delivery of a quality product. The ability to programme works, either using Asta Power Project or MS Project is essential.

The individual is also likely to have at least 3 years relevant experience.
