This is a site-first role.
You must be on site every day, most of the day, walking the job, fixing issues, pushing quality and programme.
If your natural style is to sit in the office and wait for supervisors to "report up" to you, this role is not for you. We need someone whose instinct is to be where the work is.

Day-to-day management of facade installation works (glazing / curtain wall / cladding / rainscreen)
Lead supervisors and operatives, coordinate access, logistics, deliveries, and materials
Short-term planning, look-ahead, progress reporting, programme coordination

On LinkedIn you can apply directly and I will be notified by LinkedIn, however if you find my ad elsewhere feel free to DM, email or WhatsApp your CV / experience summary.
If a CV is not handy, a simple message is fine (DM, email, WhatsApp).
No agencies, please.
==========
P.S. We are the installation company (not a recruitment agency). Pay is confidential and agreed privately, but to satisfy the platform and those who prefer a guide: minimum £60k+, and we can go higher for the right person depending on experience, responsibility, and what you genuinely bring to site. If you're in this business, you know what you're worth, and you know what rates a specialist installer can afford to pay.
P.P.S. We will also hire directly (regular weekly work) local people from Manchester if possible, or anyone willing to relocate, for roles like: Supervisors, Slingers/Signallers, Facade Installers, Fixers/Fixer's Mates, and Logistics Operatives. If that's you, just text: "Interested - I'm a ____" plus your experience and tickets (CSCS, CPCS/NPORS, etc.).

Toni Timis
