Contract Construction Site Manager QA-Quality Control Skilled Trades & Labour

Job Description

We're on the lookout for an exceptional Site Manager to join a fast-paced residential project in Ilford, East London, on a temporary basis (minimum 2 months).
You'll need solid exposure to both internal and external packages, with a strong focus on fit-out - but the right person will be willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in wherever needed.



Key Responsibilities:

  • Project Delivery: Oversee internal and external packages, ensuring trades like drylining, joinery, MEP, cladding, windows, and finishes are completed to spec and on time.

  • Team Coordination: Lead site teams and subcontractors to maintain momentum, safety, and top-tier workmanship.

  • H&S Compliance: Uphold site safety standards with regular checks and best practice enforcement.

  • Quality Control: Keep a sharp eye on detail - no corners cut, no punch lists piling up.

  • Stakeholder Communication: Liaise confidently with the PM, client, and supply chain to ensure smooth delivery.

  • Adaptability: Be hands-on when needed - this is a site that values leaders who lead from the front.



Key Requirements:

  • Strong track record delivering internal and external packages on residential schemes (ideally for a volume developer)

  • Experience across fit-out and facade/external works

  • SMSTS, CSCS (Black/Gold), and ideally NVQ Level 6

  • Confident managing subcontractors and solving day-to-day site issues

  • Solid understanding of UK building regulations and construction sequencing

  • Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills
