Health & Safety: Maintain strict RAMS compliance and site standards throughout the project lifecycle. Candidate Requirements Ultra-Prime Residential Experience: Proven track record delivering high-value, bespoke 1-off private residential builds. Proactive & Driven: A manager who naturally belongs out on site with the trades rather than behind a desk. Technical Understanding: Strong grasp of high-end finishes, structural builds, and complex specialist trades. Certifications: Valid SMSTS, CSCS Card, and First Aid at Work.
