* Working closely with the Senior Site Manager to ensure programme milestones are achieved
* Monitoring quality throughout the construction process and ensuring works are completed to specification
* Assisting with logistics planning and site coordination across a busy live project
* Building strong relationships with subcontractors and the wider project team
* Identifying and resolving issues before they impact programme or productivity
* Contributing to a positive, professional, and well‑organised site environment
What We’re Looking For
* Experience working as an Assistant Site Manager within construction
* Previous experience on industrial, commercial, logistics, warehouse, or large-scale construction projects would be advantageous
* Strong understanding of health & safety and quality standards
* Good communication and organisational skills
* Someone who is eager to learn, take responsibility, and continue progressing their career
* A proactive approach and willingness to get involved in all aspects of site delivery
* SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications
What’s On Offer
* Up to £55,000 basic salary
* Competitive package including car allowance, pension, bonus and additional benefits
* Opportunity to take ownership of a significant phase on a flagship project
* Exposure to experienced senior leadership and structured support
* Long‑term career progression within a highly respected Tier 1 contractor
* The chance to be part of a project that will genuinely stand out within your portfolio
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Assistant Site Manager who wants more responsibility, enjoys working on large and complex projects, and is looking to build a long‑term career with a contractor known for delivering some of the industry's most impressive schemes.
