Internal Recruiter
Senior Site Manager
Central Cambridge | £9m Conversion Project
We are working with a growing developer who are looking for an experienced Senior Site Manager to take ownership of a £9m conversion project in the heart of Cambridge.
This is not a straightforward build. The project is particularly tight and technically challenging, with a significant focus on demolition, piling, basement construction, steel frame, façade and brickwork.
The development will transform an existing building into a combination of restaurant, pub and office space, creating a complex project in a highly constrained city-centre environment.
Reporting directly to the Construction Director, you will be the developer’s lead presence on site and will have genuine ownership of the project’s day-to-day delivery.
The Role
This is a hands-on position suited to an experienced Senior Site Manager who is comfortable taking responsibility and making things happen.
You will be responsible for:
- Taking full ownership of the day-to-day running of the project
- Managing and coordinating subcontractors and trades
- Driving the programme and keeping the project on track
- Overseeing complex works including demolition, piling, basement, steel frame, façade and brickwork
- Managing site logistics within a very constrained central Cambridge location
- Maintaining strict control over quality and workmanship
- Ensuring the project is delivered safely and in accordance with all relevant requirements
- Identifying issues early and finding practical solutions
- Working closely with the Construction Director and wider professional team
- Coordinating consultants, subcontractors and other project stakeholders
- Providing clear updates on progress, programme and key project issues
About You
We’re looking for someone who has experience when it comes to complex construction projects.
You’ll ideally have:
- Strong experience as a Senior Site Manager or experienced Site Manager
- A proven track record delivering complex construction or refurbishment projects
- Experience across demolition, piling, basement construction, steel frame, façade and brickwork
- Experience working on constrained or logistically challenging sites
- Strong programme and subcontractor management skills
- Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities
- The confidence to operate independently and take ownership
- High standards when it comes to quality, safety and delivery
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work closely with senior management
