We're Hiring: Site Contract Manager – Sawwood Close, Ackworth
Nexgen Construction is looking for an experienced Site Contract Manager to lead delivery of our residential development at Sawwood Close (Hardaker's Lane), Ackworth, Wakefield.
About the project
Two high-specification detached dwellings — a 3-bed bungalow and a 4-bed two-storey house — plus a detached garage with annexe, set within a beautiful, heavily wooded 0.6-hectare site. It's a technically interesting build: significant tree protection requirements (BS 5837 / AMS / TPP compliance), a widened shared access road, and careful coordination with our arboricultural, ecological and highways consultants throughout.
What you'll be doing
Running day-to-day site operations from groundworks through to handover
Managing subcontractors and specialist trades (including tree protection contractors) to programme and budget
Ensuring strict compliance with planning conditions, tree protection plans and no-dig construction zones
Coordinating with our architect, engineers and Wakefield Council where required
Upholding Nexgen's standards for health & safety, quality and site presentation
What we're looking for
✅ Proven experience managing residential new-build sites
✅ Strong understanding of groundworks, RC frame/traditional build methods and programme management
✅ Experience working on tree-constrained or ecologically sensitive sites is a strong advantage
✅ SMSTS, CSCS (Manager level) and First Aid at Work as a minimum
✅ A hands-on, detail-focused approach — this is a bespoke, high-quality build, not a volume site.
Why Nexgen Construction
We're a growing residential, fit-out and commercial contractor delivering considered, high-quality projects across Yorkshire. You'll get genuine ownership of a standout scheme, direct access to the design team, and a business that backs its site contract managers to make decisions.
