Role Summary

We are seeking an experienced Site/Construction Manager to support the on-site leadership team delivering a £13m industrial extension and fit-out within a food manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on, construction-led role focused on day-to-day site delivery, trade coordination, and technical oversight, ensuring safe, efficient progress against programme.

While food factory experience is desirable, the priority is a construction-heavy industrial fit-out background and the ability to interpret technical drawings, identify coordination clashes, and drive practical resolution on site.

Key Objectives

Strengthen on-site management capacity to maintain programme and productivity.
Drive safe execution of works through strong H&S leadership and compliance.
Coordinate multiple work packages and interfaces (building fabric / fit-out / MEP).
Identify and resolve technical/coordination issues early to minimise rework and delays.
Maintain high standards of workmanship, quality assurance and site housekeeping.

Core Responsibilities

1) Site Delivery & Supervision

Lead day-to-day site activities as No.2 alongside the Project Manager and Lead Construction Manager.
Manage and coordinate subcontractors and direct labour (where applicable) to achieve planned outputs.
Maintain workface planning, sequencing, and short interval control (daily/weekly priorities).
Manage site logistics: deliveries, laydown areas, access routes, and area handovers.
Support weekend working plans and ensure effective TOIL arrangements.

2) Technical Oversight & Coordination

Read and interpret technical drawings and specifications to ensure works are built correctly.
Proactively identify design/interface conflicts and potential coordination errors (particularly between trades/MEP/building works).
Raise and track RFIs/site queries; support resolution through coordination meetings and site walkdowns.
Support installation sequencing to avoid clashes (builders' works openings, services routes, fire stopping, ceilings, etc.).

3) Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Leadership

Drive a "safe by default" culture: visible leadership, daily briefings, toolbox talks, and behavioural safety.
Review and enforce compliance with RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements).
Support and/or manage permit controls (e.g., hot works, working at height, isolations as relevant).
Conduct site inspections/audits and close out actions promptly.
Ensure incident, near-miss and hazard reporting is completed and lessons learned communicated.
Maintain good site housekeeping and environmental controls (waste, dust, noise, spill prevention).

4) Temporary Works & Compliance (where applicable)

Support temporary works planning and compliance; act as Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) if qualified.
Ensure temporary works registers/checks/permits are maintained and contractors follow required processes.
As required, support compliance for asbestos awareness controls in line with site procedures (desirable).

5) Quality Assurance & Handover Support

Complete regular quality inspections, ensure hold points and ITPs are followed where applicable.
Manage snagging/punch lists and drive timely close-out with subcontractors.
Support commissioning readiness, area completion, and progressive handover requirements.
Ensure site records are maintained (daily diaries, progress photos, permits, inspections, etc.).

6) Reporting & Communication

Provide accurate daily/weekly progress updates to the PM/Lead CM.
Maintain 2-6 week lookahead input and highlight risks to programme early.
Coordinate with client/consultants as required on site queries and access constraints.
Maintain a professional site presence and clear communication across stakeholders.

Required Qualifications / Tickets

Essential (as a minimum):

SMSTS
CSCS (appropriate manager level)
First Aid at Work
Fire Warden / Fire Marshal

Strongly preferred:

Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC)

Desirable:

Asbestos Awareness

Required Experience

Proven experience in a construction management/site management role on industrial fit-out or industrial refurbishment/new build projects.
Strong track record coordinating multiple subcontractors and managing interfaces in industrial facilities (manufacturing/FMCG/pharma/food/warehouse/process environments).
Demonstrable ability to read drawings, review constructability, and identify coordination clashes before they become site issues.
Experience working on live or constrained sites, maintaining safe segregation and controlled access where relevant.

Skills & Competencies

Strong leadership and presence on site; confident managing subcontractors and challenging unsafe/poor-quality work.
Excellent organisation: sequencing, short-term planning, and prioritisation.
Strong knowledge of site H&S management, RAMS, and permit systems.
Practical problem-solving mindset; proactive and solutions-focused.
Clear communication with site teams, PM/CM, client stakeholders, and suppliers.
Good written reporting: site diary, progress updates, actions, and close-out tracking.
