A successful principal contractor are looking for a Freelance Senior Site Manager who enjoys organised chaos, doesn’t panic at a full RFI inbox, and knows their way around an internals package.
This is a new build student accommodation project, currently at 1st fix, moving into the fit out of 80 bedrooms and communal areas (yes, that’s a lot of doors).
What you’ll be doing
• Running the internals like a calm professional (even when it isn’t)
• Managing subcontractors and keeping everyone pointed in the same direction
• Dealing with RFIs, technical queries and the inevitable “while we’re here…” requests
• Quality control — because “that’ll do” isn’t good enough
• Keeping programmes, paperwork and IT systems tidy
• Able to spot issues before they become site legends
What they are looking for
• Enjoys a challenge
• Strong internals / fit out manager
• Ideally from a carpentry or suitable trade background
• Organised, proactive and unflappable
• Confident with subcontractors, drawings and digital systems
• SMSTS
