Job Description


Site Manager - Northamptonshire
Privately Owned Residential Developer
We're working with a well-established, privately owned residential developer looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager for a live development in Northamptonshire.
This is a lovely opportunity for someone who wants to move away from the larger corporate housebuilders and join a smaller, more personable business, where there is a closer-knit team and a more hands-on approach.
The development comprises 66 units, with around 40 currently in build and the first 2 plots approaching CML.
The site is already performing well, with strong NHBC and Health & Safety scores, and the successful Site Manager will be responsible for maintaining those standards while driving the programme forward.
Key responsibilities will include:


  • Day-to-day management of the development

  • Driving build programme and plot completions

  • Managing subcontractors and trades

  • Maintaining high standards of quality

  • Health & Safety management

  • Working closely with the wider construction and commercial teams

  • Taking plots through CML and handover


What we're looking for:


  • Previous Site Management experience within new-build housing

  • Strong traditional build experience

  • Good knowledge of NHBC standards

  • Strong Health & Safety awareness

  • Someone confident taking ownership of a live residential development


An immediate start can be accommodated for the right person.
