An established, mediumd sized principal contractor are looking to bring an experienced Site Manager on board for upcoming residential and care home projects across Kent & Surrey.
They’re a well-respected contractor with a reputation for delivering quality projects—without the usual “organised chaos” you sometimes find on site. In short, a place where programmes are actually followed… most of the time.

Key Responsibilities
Managing day-to-day site operations (yes, including the unexpected surprises)
Keeping the programme moving in the right direction
Coordinating subcontractors and maintaining standards
Upholding health & safety (the non-negotiable bit)
Liaising with clients and the wider team without losing your sanityWhat They're Looking For
Proven experience as a Site Manager with a main contractor
Residential and/or care home project experience from £5m - £15m
Strong leadership skills—you can run a site without shouting… most of the time

Someone organised, proactive, and able to spot problems before they become “meetings” What’s on Offer
This is a genuinely good role with a principal contractor that knows what they’re doing.
You won’t be handed a mess and told to “just sort it”—unless it’s one of those days… but that’s construction.
