Brierley Homes is growing, and we're looking for a Construction Manager to play a key role in delivering high-quality homes across North Yorkshire. This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking developer with a strong pipeline of residential projects.
At Brierley Homes, we pride ourselves on delivering high quality homes that our customers are proud to own. Each of our bespoke developments include design details which reflect our aim of providing exceptional new homes in the stunning surroundings of North Yorkshire.
Brierley Homes Ltd was established in 2016 and is the wholly owned residential development and construction company of North Yorkshire Council. The Company builds a range of high-quality homes for market sale and affordable purposes across the County offering superior specification and design in beautiful locations. The Company works in close partnership with other organisations and has recently approved a 5 year business plan which shapes the future activities of the Company moving forward.
Reflected in all our developments is our attention to detail, in the design and layout of the homes, through to the quality of construction. This continues with our dedicated after-care team who are there to support customers in the months after they first move into their new home. We pride ourselves on providing a personal service to each customer.
As our Construction Manager, you will sit as part of our senior leadership team and lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of residential developments from pre-construction through to handover. You'll bring expert technical knowledge, a proactive mindset, and strong leadership skills to ensure our projects are delivered safely on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
Working closely with the Commercial Manager and the rest of the senior leadership team, you'll shape and continually refine our construction management function, contributing to business planning, project strategies, and organisational growth. Using your knowledge and expertise, you will identify areas of improvement, implementing effective and efficient processes that will boost productivity and enhance ways of working.
With a strong pipeline of high-quality residential schemes across North Yorkshire and a supportive, collaborative working environment, Brierley Homes offers a rewarding and engaging place to build your career.

* Lead, motivate, and develop site teams, and build strong relationships with architects, engineers, consultants, local authorities, and wider stakeholders.
* Support procurement planning, sequencing, and review of construction programmes and method statements.
* Champion Brierley Homes' reputation by always acting with professionalism and integrity, ensuring our work reflects the high standards expected of a public-funded organisation dedicated to best value, transparency, and the delivery of high-quality homes for North Yorkshire residents.
