The Projects. Commencing with demolition and site clearance, taking the schemes through to completion and handover. Traditional build experience is essential, whilst timber frame and to a lesser degree RC frame experience would be of value. Many of the brownfield sites are in residential areas, so the usual restrictions apply. The site layouts mean that you often have a restricted site to work on and must still be able to produce a high-quality finish.
You must be able to read and understand Engineers drawings also be able to plan and co-ordinate the various trades and sub-contractors, whilst planning ahead to organise and call off materials in time. Strong written and oral communication skills are needed, with IT reporting standard practice on all the sites.
Your background will clearly demonstrate long periods of continuous permanent employment with the same employer. You will probably need at least 6-7 years experience in Site Management to be able to successfully run projects that this company work on. References will be required and will be followed up.
