We’re seeking a Site Manager to run the delivery of a new multi‑storey car park (MSCP) project in Cardiff for a major European design‑and‑build contractor operating across the UK. You’ll oversee daily site operations, subcontractors, programme, safety, and quality. Experience on MSCP or concrete/steel frame structures is essential. MEP knowledge is important for coordination. You’ll manage M&E packages delivered by specialist subcontractors (not self‑delivery).
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead day‑to‑day site operations, including logistics, briefings, permits and look‑ahead planning.
* Manage programme delivery: track progress, sequence works, identify risks and drive mitigation actions.
* Oversee quality & compliance: ITPs, QA records, snagging, defect management and handover documentation.
* Provide strong H&S leadership: RAMS reviews, inductions, toolbox talks and safe‑system oversight.
* Coordinate subcontractors across structural, façade and MEP trades; monitor progress versus plan.
* Work with commercial teams on measures, variations and progress validation.
* Maintain clear communication with PM/client, issuing concise evidence‑based updates.
* Manage interfaces for EV‑readiness, lighting, wayfinding, fire/life‑safety systems and metering.
What You’ll Bring
* Proven track record as a Site Manager on Multi-Story Car Parks (MSCPs) or comparable concrete/steel frame builds.
* Strong MEP coordination exposure (electrical packages, containment, LV systems, lighting, controls, fire/life‑safety).
* SMSTS and CSCS (Black/Gold ideal).
* Good command of RAMS, permits, temporary works coordination and QA processes (ITPs, test packs, handover).
* Confident with short‑term planning, look‑aheads and progress reporting.
* Calm, organised communicator who drives safe, compliant, on‑programme delivery.
Nice to Have
* NEC contract experience in main‑contractor environments.
* Considerate Constructors–style mindset for public‑realm interfaces.
Contract & Pay
* Freelance for 3+ months (extensions likely based on programme and performance).
* £250–£300 per day (DOE).
* Choose to work 3, 4 or 5 weekdays (Mon–Fri)
* Working until 1pm on Saturday is mandatory (paid at full day rate).
* CIS payment available
