Job Description

We are recruiting for a Works Manager, required by one of the UK s most prominent civil engineering contractors. The role will be based on a very high-profile sewage treatment scheme, with over 2 years remaining on the project. It entails increasing the facility s capacity to handle future population growth, meet higher environmental standards and includes the construction of tanks capable of holding in excess of ten million litres of storm water.

This is a long-term, contract position but please note that, as per our client s policy, the role has been deemed Inside IR35 and furthermore, payment via CIS is not an option either. The permitted models are Umbrella PAYE or PAYE itself, on a freelance basis.

In order to be considered, you must have been in a Works Manager position for at least 5 years. Our client has respectfully advised that they are not looking for a General Foreman ready to make the step-up. Only experienced Works Managers will be considered for shortlisting.

If you have a demonstrable track-record in managing a team of Foremen & Supervisors on large infrastructure projects, we are keen to hear from you.

Due to the complex requirements of the site, the ideal candidate will have hands-on experience of drainage, cofferdams, ductile pipes, surfacing and structures.

SMSTS is essential, as is either a Black or Gold CSCS Card.

Rate is indicative and dependant on pay type.
