The initial project is expected to run for around 12 months, with a strong pipeline of future developments already secured across the region.

Key Responsibilities
- Oversee day-to-day site operations and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
- Manage subcontractors and coordinate their activities to meet project deadlines.
- Monitor progress against programme and budget, reporting regularly to senior management.
- Ensure quality standards are maintained throughout all phases of construction.
- Conduct site inspections and resolve any technical or operational issues promptly.
- Liaise with clients, consultants, and suppliers to maintain effective communication.
- Prepare and maintain accurate site records, including risk assessments and method statements.
- Drive continuous improvement and ensure adherence to company policies and procedures.
Requirements
- Previous experience as a Site Manager on large-scale construction projects.
- Strong engineering background (civil or structural preferred).
- Excellent leadership and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple subcontractors and maintain high standards under pressure.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across Kent for future projects.
- SMSTS, CSCS, and First Aid certifications are highly desirable.
