Overview

Within the Construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. You will work on developments across the UK with unique challenges, from brownfield sites to adapting existing buildings. The role reports to the Contracts Manager and involves managing the construction of a development, including pre and post housebuilding works, to meet targets for health and safety, build programme delivery, quality, customer care, and cost.

You will be expected to bring fresh ideas and imagination as well as commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs. Since 2004, Site Managers have won NHBC Pride in the Job Awards more than any other housebuilder, reflecting the professionalism of our teams.
