The Role
Fetch Recruitment is proud to partner with a leading main contractor to source a Site Manager for a flagship Design & Build project in Ashford, Surrey. This is the first project for a new client, and represents the start of a major long term partnership with a significant future pipeline.
As the Site Manager, you will lead a complex four storey structural steel build followed by a high spec internal fit out, situated in a logistically challenging location adjacent to live railway infrastructure.
The Project
* Structure: 4-storey structural steel frame, cladding, lifts, and firefighting stair cores.
* Internal: Full fit-out including mezzanine structures, storage units, internal finishes, and MEP installations.
* Location: Ashford, Surrey (TW Postcode)—Primary site considerations include proximity to Heathrow and the adjacent railway line.
The Challenge (Network Rail / BAPA)
Due to the site's location near the train station, this project operates under a Network Rail BAPA agreement. We are looking for a Site Manager who can navigate:
* BAPA Compliance: Managing programme and approvals risk associated with BAPA submissions.
* Design Constraints: Ensuring all works meet specific Network Rail standards.
* Operational Risk: Managing access and possession limitations while working adjacent to live railway infrastructure.
Requirements
* Experience: Proven track record as a No.1 or No.2 Site Manager on Steel Frame, D&B, or industrial projects.
* Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of MEP, structural steel, and mezzanine installations.
* Rail/BAPA Exposure: Previous experience working on projects adjacent to rail infrastructure (BAPA/Network Rail liaison) is essential.
* Qualifications: SMSTS, CSCS (Black/Gold), and First Aid are required.
Why Apply?
This is a high-profile "first build" for a new client. Success on this project will lead to further opportunities within a growing portfolio of self storage developments across the South East
