The company has built an enviable industry name over the last 50 years on their specialist team, consistently delivering high quality service on a variety of projects for a diverse range of long-term clients, which has led to a high level of repeat business and continuous bid success. This company is now embarking on a new mixed-use residential, commercial and community scheme and requires the services of an experienced Site Manager to oversee for the duration of works.

Your new role
As Site No.1, you will be responsible for the management of all subcontractors and labour on an upcoming project in Derry City. You will oversee the full programme of works from groundworks through to final handover, encompassing all stages of the project life cycle. You will ensure the site is in adherence with health and safety regulations whilst liaising with clients and key stakeholders on site progress. You will be required to carry out setting-out duties in the early stages of the project, therefore a site engineering background is essential.

What you'll need to succeed
As a successful Site Manager, you will have proven experience in a similar role, with knowledge of groundworks, building and internal trades. The ideal candidate will come from a site engineering background - educated to a relevant degree background or with 5 years + site-based experience as a Site Engineer. You must be CSR (Site Supervisor), CSCS or SMSTS certified in order to be considered for this role. As the project is due to commence imminently, you must be immediately available or on a shortened notice period.

What you'll get in return
This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a progressive company with a busy orderbook on a local project based in the northwest, with no requirement to travel. The successful delivery of this project may offer potential for further, long-term works following the initial scheme.
