Site Manager – Thornbury

Your new company

You’ll be joining a leading national contractor with a strong track record of delivering secure public sector projects across the UK. Known for their professionalism and collaborative approach, they are currently delivering a short-term mechanical upgrade scheme on a live government site in South Gloucestershire. The project involves heating system improvements and asbestos removal, requiring careful coordination and compliance with strict site protocols.

Your new role

As Site Manager, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of the works, ensuring health and safety standards are upheld and that the programme is delivered on time and within budget. You’ll manage subcontractors, liaise with the client and site security teams, and ensure all documentation and permits are in place.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing radiator replacement works and associated mechanical upgrades
Overseeing licenced asbestos removal in designated areas
Ensuring compliance with secure site procedures and able to achieve BPSS clearance
Coordinating trades and maintaining site records
Reporting progress to the Project Manager and client representatives

This is a daytime role with no night shifts, running for approximately 12–14 weeks from early January 2026.

What you'll need to succeed

You’ll need previous experience working on secure government sites — ideally within the justice sector — and be confident managing short-term refurbishment or M&E packages. A valid Black or Gold CSCS card, SMSTS, First Aid, and Asbestos Awareness certification are essential. You must also be eligible for BPSS clearance.

Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work within strict protocols are key.

What you'll get in return

Competitive daily rate: £300–£350 per day (Umbrella)
Generous holiday entitlement: 34 days
Opportunity to work on a meaningful public sector scheme
Supportive team and structured delivery programme
