Your new role

As a Freelance Finishing Manager, you will be based on a major student accommodation development in Edinburgh, taking responsibility for the internal finishing phases of the project. You’ll coordinate subcontractors, manage snagging and quality control, and support the site management team in delivering a high‑quality end product.

  • Strong attention to detail and a quality‑focused mindset
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with subcontractors and site teams
  • A proactive, organised approach and willingness to learn
  • CSCS card required (SMSTS or First Aid beneficial but not essential)
