Senior Site Manager NEW

The company
An award winning, Platinum IIP main contractor working on both new build and refurbishment projects across south London and the Southern Home Counties requires a Senior Site Manager, with a view of making you a project manager, to join their team.
It is a company that genuinely sees people as their greatest asset, which is one of the reasons they have picked awards in Leadership & People Development, won NFB Employer of the Year and are recognised as having reached the Platinum standard when it comes to Investors in People. With them you’ll enjoy a very competitive salary and a progressive, rewarding career all of which comes as part of a company with a strong family culture and flexible working. These are just some of reasons why the average length of service is 17 years and the staff turnover rate is 1.8% PA.
Outstanding opportunities for talented and ambitious people.
They are committed to the ethos of ‘hiring for attitude and training for skill’ and their coaching programme, alongside their various training programmes, ensures that every individual is supported to fulfil their full potential. Having a diverse workforce brings with it new ideas and a fresh perspective on how to work and deliver challenging projects more effectively and as such they are fully committed to equality of opportunity in every sense.
Type of work:
Project examples consist of hospitals, universities, care homes, schools, and high-end residential works.
With an annual turnover circa £40m and with project values typically ranging between £6M and £15M being delivered across 5 frameworks as well as their traditional client base this organisation is expanding and needs people like you.
Desired Knowledge and Experience
The key point to make here is that while more experience is better than less what my client looks for first and foremost is a passion for construction, a desire to be a part of a team and a willingness to improve both yourself and what is being delivered. There are though a few things would be an advantage:
From a main contracting background.
Experienced in both new build and refurbishment projects.
Experienced in managing projects between £5M and £20M in value.
Involved in managing those projects from the start to hand over.
Commercially savvy
In return
My client pays a market leading base salary along with a car allowance (+travel to site expenses), pension, 34 days holiday (inc the 8 days bank holiday) and everyone is enrolled in the profit share scheme, which has been paid 13 out of 15 years and the first £3,600 of which is tax free. Smaller but equally valuable perks include flexible working, fun Fridays every quarter, cycle to work scheme, child care vouchers and an annual occupational health check.
What I think sets them apart though is the fact that they really look after their people. The average length of service is 17 years, the staff turnover rate is just over 1% PA and it is very much family centric business. If you are the kind of person that thinks you might like to develop your career then they have supported their staff with further training and 84% are now also professionally qualified. Some have changed careers completely but everyone has found it a very rewarding please to work.
They are also expanding as a company and for those that are looking to progress their career then a move to Project Manager is definitely there and there will also be opportunities to become a Contracts Manager over the next 5 years.
