We're working with a well-established residential developer with a long-standing reputation for building quality homes at scale, with developments across the UK and a strong focus on maintaining consistent standards from the first plot through to handover. They're looking for an experienced Assistant Site Manager to join an award-winning development near Sittingbourne that is already well underway, with around 18 months remaining on the programme. You'll be reporting directly into an experienced Senior Site Manager, becoming an important part of the site team as the development moves through its next stages. This isn't an opportunity for someone looking to make their first move into housebuilding - we're specifically looking for an Assistant Site Manager with a proven residential housebuilding background who understands how a volume development needs to run.
The site is at a stage where there's plenty to get your teeth into, particularly around taking plots from the roofing stage through to completion. Experience with externals would also be useful, giving you the opportunity to broaden your exposure as the development progresses.
The Role
- Managing and coordinating subcontractors across your allocated plots
- Taking plots from roof stage through to completion and handover
- Monitoring build quality and ensuring works are completed correctly first time
- Coordinating trades to maintain momentum against the build programme
- Supporting the delivery of external works where required
- Preparing plots for NHBC inspections and ensuring required standards are consistently met
- Identifying problems early and working with trades and the Senior Site Manager to resolve them
- Maintaining strong health & safety standards across your area
- Keeping your plots organised and ready for the next trade
- Building good relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
- Supporting the Senior Site Manager with programme planning and upcoming workloads
- Helping create the kind of site environment where people take pride in the work they're putting their name to
What We're Looking For
This is specifically a residential housebuilding opportunity, so previous experience in the sector is essential. You'll ideally have:
- Proven experience as an Assistant Site Manager within residential housebuilding
- Experience working for a PLC or volume housebuilder
- Strong traditional build experience
- Good knowledge of NHBC standards and inspection processes
- Experience taking plots from roof through to completion
- External works experience would be advantageous
- The ability to confidently manage subcontractors and keep production moving
- Good organisation and communication skills
- A practical approach to solving problems on site
- SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid
We're looking for someone who already understands the rhythm of a residential site and can step in, take responsibility for their area and make a difference from day one.
What's On Offer
- Up to £58,000 basic salary
- Competitive package
- Bonus
- Opportunity to work alongside an experienced Senior Site Manager
- Approximately 18 months remaining on the current development
- Genuine opportunity to broaden your experience across the build
- Clear scope for progression within the wider business
- The chance to be part of a site team working towards industry recognition for the quality of the development
If you're an Assistant Site Manager with genuine housebuilding experience and you're looking for a role where you can take on more responsibility, develop your knowledge and be part of a site with ambitions beyond simply getting the plots over the line, this is worth a conversation.
