Joshua Robert are proud to be exclusively partnering with a leading residential Master Developer to recruit a Site Manager / Assistant Construction Manager for a landmark new settlement across Essex. This is a rare opportunity to join a business delivering a major infrastructure programme, including roads, drainage, utilities, heavy earthworks and landscaping, from design through to local authority adoption, before serviced parcels are handed over to housebuilders.

- Coordinating with the local authority highways engineer to bring infrastructure to adoption
- Managing housebuilder permits, inspections and handover of completed parcels
- Overseeing site security and estate management for areas outside the live construction programme
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years' experience in civils/infrastructure delivery groundworks, highways, drainage and utilities (this is NOT a vertical/house-building background)
- Proven experience managing contractors on live infrastructure schemes
- Confident reading and interpreting design plans, RAMS, quality plans and ITPs
- SMSTS or SSSTS (essential)
- CSCS Managers Black Card or Supervisors Gold Card (essential)
- NRSWA qualification (desirable)
- First Aid at Work and Temporary Works qualifications (desirable)
- Full UK driving licence
- Experience with S278/S38/S104 highway and sewer adoption processes would be a strong advantage
- Strong communicator, comfortable proposing solutions and working both independently and as part of a wider team
What’s On Offer
- Salary up to £65,000, depending on experience with the top end reserved for candidates with additional skills such as AutoCAD proficiency or contract administration experience
- Non-contributory pension scheme
- Dental insurance and family private medical insurance as core benefits
- Genuine opportunity to shape a flagship development from the ground up
