FACADE SITE MANAGER - MANCHESTER, UK UNITISED CURTAIN WALLING / FACADE INSTALLATION Direct role with T&D Glazing and Installation Limited Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 per year, depending on proven experience Location: Manchester, UK Job type: Full-time, site-based Start date: Immediate, or flexible for the right person PLEASE READ THIS FIRST This is not a general construction Site Manager position. We are looking for an experienced Site Manager with experience managing the on-site installation of aluminium and glazed facade systems, particularly unitised curtain walling, on live commercial or residential projects. T&D Glazing and Installation Limited is a specialist facade installation company. Our teams install: Unitised curtain wall panels Stick curtain walling systems Aluminium windows and doors Glazing and associated facade components Our main area of work is installing unitised curtain wall systems on mid-rise and high-rise buildings. We manage and carry out the facade installation package. General experience in housebuilding, internal fit-out, civils, roofing or unrelated construction trades will not be sufficient without direct facade installation experience. Cladding experience is useful, but cladding-only experience will not replace a strong understanding of curtain walling, glazing and facade installation. If you understand how unitised panels are installed - from drawings, setting-out, brackets, interfaces and tolerances through to lifting, access, sequencing, quality and progress- please carry on reading. THE OPPORTUNITY We already have an active project in Manchester. The successful candidate could start immediately, initially support our existing management team and then move to an upcoming project. We are looking for the right person for the long term, not simply the person who can start first. If the right candidate is currently committed to another project, we are prepared to wait until that project is properly completed. We are a UK facade installation company, not a recruitment agency. You will work directly for T&D Glazing and Installation Limited. THE ROLE You will take day-to-day responsibility for our facade installation activities, ensuring that the workforce is properly planned, organised and supported so that work progresses safely, productively and to the required quality standard. Your main responsibilities will include: Managing the daily installation of unitised curtain walling and other facade systems Planning work by floor, elevation, area or installation zone and preparing realistic look-ahead plans Managing installers, team leaders and supervisors, allocating labour and monitoring productivity Reading and understanding construction drawings, installation drawings and technical details Planning labour, materials, access, deliveries, lifting operations and site resources Coordinating with the Project Manager, main contractor, QA team, QS/commercial team and senior site management Identifying missing materials, drawings, access, information or decisions before they delay installation Conducting daily start briefings and toolbox talks Ensuring work follows RAMS, Health & Safety requirements and lifting procedures Monitoring workmanship, quality, snagging and programme progress Maintaining accurate site records and producing detailed daily reports Resolving practical site problems, motivating the workforce and keeping installation moving Representing T&D professionally in meetings and communication with the client and wider project team A PRACTICAL, HANDS-ON MANAGER This is not an office-only management position. You will not be employed as a fixer and will not be expected to install panels as part of your normal daily duties. However, you must be visible in the working areas, understand exactly what the installation teams are doing and remain closely involved with supervisors and the workforce. From time to time, you must be prepared to work alongside the team, explain or demonstrate the correct method and, where safe, authorised and appropriate, physically assist with a difficult installation task. Our directors also work in this way when necessary. A good manager does not simply stand at a distance, criticise people or replace someone as soon as a problem appears. A good manager steps in, understands the problem, explains the task, demonstrates the correct approach and helps the team restore safe and productive progress. We are looking for someone who can lead by example, not only by job title. THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR You should have: At least three years of relevant facade installation management or senior supervision experience Proven experience managing the installation of unitised curtain wall systems Experience managing installers, team leaders or supervisors on live construction projects Strong knowledge of curtain walling, glazing, aluminium windows and doors Experience on mid-rise or high-rise commercial or residential projects The ability to read, understand and explain construction drawings and installation details A good understanding of sequencing, setting-out, interfaces, tolerances, access, logistics and lifting operations Strong Health & Safety awareness and practical knowledge of RAMS Strong planning, organisational, communication and people-management skills The ability to think ahead, solve problems and make practical decisions under pressure The ability to maintain accurate records and produce detailed written reports Please state clearly whether you hold SMSTS, CSCS Black or Gold Card, NVQ Level 6, First Aid at Work or other relevant management, lifting or site qualifications. WHAT MATTERS TO US We are not looking for a perfect person. We are looking for someone serious, reliable, honest, organised, technically competent and able to take responsibility. Someone who can plan ahead, communicate clearly, remain calm when problems arise and motivate the installation team even on a difficult day. A safe and well-organised site is a productive site. We need someone who can maintain standards, support the workforce and keep the facade installation programme moving properly. For the right person, this role can create opportunities to progress into Senior Site Management, Project Management or Contracts Management as our project requirements continue to grow. We will provide the opportunity and support. You must demonstrate what you can do and that you genuinely want to do it. ABOUT T&D T&D Glazing and Installation Limited is a UK specialist facade installation company established in 2003. For more than 20 years, we have provided experienced facade installation teams and site management for major commercial and residential projects across the UK. We currently work with a workforce of approximately 300 people across our projects, and some members of our team have worked with T&D since 2005. Our approach is straightforward: safe installation, good workmanship, reliable delivery and long-term working relationships. HOW TO APPLY We will not appoint someone simply because their CV looks impressive. We prefer a direct conversation so we can understand which facade systems and projects you have worked on, what your actual responsibilities were and how you deal with people, progress and problems on site. However, this is a management position with a salary of £60,000 - £70,000 per year. At this level, we expect serious candidates to make the effort to prepare or update their CV. Please apply through CV-Library or email an up-to-date CV wherever possible. You are also welcome to call, text, or WhatsApp me directly on (phone number removed). I am usually available until late. If I do not answer, please send me your name, Facade Site Manager - Manchester and a brief explanation of why you are contacting me, and I will get back to you. If you genuinely do not have an updated CV, send a detailed email explaining your employment and project history, the curtain walling systems you have managed, your responsibilities, the size of the teams you managed, your qualifications, current location, availability and why you believe you are suitable for the position. A one-line message saying only "I am interested" will not provide enough information for us to assess you for a management role. Suitable candidates will speak directly with me. Toni Timis Director T&D Glazing and Installation Limited If you know someone with genuine unitised curtain walling and facade installation management experience, please share this vacancy with them.
