Assistant Site Manager for a well-established builder in the Central Belt

Your new company

This is an opportunity to join one of Scotland’s leading housebuilders, with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality homes across the Central Belt. With over eight decades of experience, the company is known for its award-winning developments, commitment to sustainability, and collaborative approach to construction. Their current portfolio includes active residential sites in Glasgow and West Lothian, offering a mix of private and affordable housing.

Your new role

As Assistant Site Manager, you will support the Site Manager in overseeing the delivery of new-build housing developments in either Glasgow or West Lothian. You’ll be responsible for coordinating subcontractors, ensuring health and safety compliance, monitoring build progress, and maintaining high standards of quality and workmanship. You’ll also assist with site documentation, inspections, and liaising with suppliers and consultants to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.

What you'll need to succeed

You’ll bring experience in a similar role within the housebuilding or construction sector, ideally with relevant qualifications such as SMSTS, CSCS, and First Aid. Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to maintaining high standards. Experience working on timber frame or traditional build housing projects will be advantageous.

What you'll get in return

You’ll be part of a forward-thinking and supportive team within a company that values its people. In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary, company benefits, and opportunities for career progression. You’ll also gain exposure to high-profile developments and work alongside experienced professionals who are passionate about delivering quality homes across Scotland.
