Hays are working with a well respected regional contractor celebrated for delivering high quality projects across the South. We’re recruiting an ambitious Site Manager to join their team as a key No.2 on a newly awarded £15 million new build scheme starting early next year.

The contractor delivers an impressive pipeline across key sectors, including:
- Education
- Commercial
- Healthcare
- Residential & Community
