I'm working exclusively with a civil engineering and groundworks contractor with a number of schemes throughout Yorkshire to recruit an experienced Groundworks Site Manager for a new residential development starting in March and April

They have a strong reputation across the region for delivering quality groundworks packages, and with a healthy pipeline of work ahead, this is a great opportunity for someone looking for long-term stability with a respected contractor.

  • Keep accurate records and report progress, challenges, and updates to senior management
  • Build strong working relationships with the client, housebuilder, and internal teams

Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience managing groundworks packages on residential developments
  • SMSTS and CSCS are essential
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Proven ability to manage programme, logistics, and site safety effectively

What's on Offer

  • Permanent position with a well-established, growing contractor (may also look at candidates on a self employed basis)
  • Competitive salary and package
  • Chance to oversee a significant long-term scheme from early stages
