We’re working with a quietly confident contractor known for delivering beautifully crafted homes, intricate refurbishments, and high-end new builds—without shouting about it. The focus is on excellence, planning, and getting things right. Every project is a one-off, with its own quirks and character, and we’re looking for a Site Manager who thrives in that kind of environment. This isn’t about churning out units.
