About Bloor Homes
At Bloor Homes, our Site Managers are extremely important people within our business. Working day‑to‑day at the front line of construction, they deal with key people from our Head Office, as well as tradespeople and contractors on site. They meet the most important people of all: our customers, as we design, build and hand over their new, dream home. We are now seeking suitable people to join our comprehensive training programme to become a fully qualified Site Manager.

You will play a key role in quality control, health and safety, resource management and staff recruitment on‑site.
