Your new company
You’ll be joining a long-established construction and development organisation that has built a strong reputation across Northern Ireland for delivering high-quality new build social housing. The company prefers to keep its name confidential at this stage, but what you can expect is a professional, well-structured environment with a steady pipeline of residential projects. Their latest development in Co. L Derry has created the need for an experienced Site Manager who can take ownership of the build from the ground up.
Your new role
In this role, you’ll take the lead on a multi-unit new build social housing scheme, guiding the project from early stages right through to handover. Your days will be spent coordinating trades, keeping the programme on track, and ensuring the site runs smoothly and safely. You’ll work closely with project managers, engineers, and design teams, making sure the build meets the required standards and stays aligned with the agreed timelines. It’s a role that suits someone who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems on the spot, and keeping a busy site moving in the right direction.
What you’ll need to succeed
To thrive here, you’ll need solid experience managing new build housing projects, ideally within the social housing sector. Strong communication and leadership skills are essential, as you’ll be the main point of contact for subcontractors and site personnel. A good understanding of building regulations, health and safety requirements, and quality standards will help you stay ahead of challenges as they arise. Industry-recognised certifications such as CSR/SMSTS and First Aid will also be important for this position.
What you’ll get in return
You’ll be joining a company that values its people and invests in long-term careers. Expect a competitive salary package, ongoing support from an experienced senior team, and the chance to take the lead on a significant project in Co. L Derry. With more developments already in the pipeline, this role offers stability, progression, and the opportunity to make your mark within a respected construction organisation.
