A well-established contractor with an outstanding reputation for delivering bespoke luxury residential projects is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Site Manager to lead the delivery of a flagship high-specification development in the Cheshire area.

The project comprises of a large contemporary extension to a luxury country house, together with the construction of two substantial steel-frame buildings within the estate. This is a technically demanding scheme involving complex groundworks, piling operations, structural steel installation and premium-quality finishes, making it an excellent opportunity for an experienced site manager who thrives on challenging one-off projects.

The Role

Reporting to the Contracts Manager, you'll take full responsibility for managing the project from site set-up through to completion, ensuring works are delivered safely, on programme and to the exceptional quality standards expected on a bespoke development.

You'll coordinate multiple work packages, manage specialist subcontractors and work closely with the client, architects and consultants throughout the construction process.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead the day-to-day delivery of the project.
* Manage all site operations from mobilisation through to handover.
* Oversee piling, groundworks and structural steel installation, ensuring works are sequenced effectively.
* Coordinate specialist subcontractors and manage programme performance across multiple work areas.
* Ensure health, safety, quality and environmental standards are maintained at all times.
* Work closely with architects, consultants and the private client to ensure the project is delivered to the highest standard.
* Chair site meetings and provide regular progress updates to the Contracts Manager.
* Drive quality inspections, snagging and a successful project handover.

What We're Looking For

* Proven experience as a Senior Site Manager delivering complex construction projects for a main contractor.
* Essential experience managing projects involving piling operations and steel-frame construction.
* Strong understanding of structural sequencing, temporary works and site logistics.
* Experience coordinating multiple specialist subcontractors on technically challenging schemes.
* Excellent leadership, communication and programme management skills.
* SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications are essential.
