Location: Sittingbourne, Kent
Position: Assistant Site Manager
Project: 600+ Unit Residential Development
Progression: Excellent opportunity to step up to Site Manager

We are currently recruiting for an ambitious and experienced Assistant Site Manager to join the team on a major residential development in Sittingbourne.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Site Manager who is ready for the next step in their career, with the ideal candidate being someone who is already operating at a level close to Site Manager and looking for the right project to take that step.

The Project

  • Major 600-unit residential development in Sittingbourne

  • Predominantly new-build houses
  • Combination of masonry and timber-frame construction
  • Approximately 3 years remaining on the project
  • High-performing, well-run development

The project has already achieved significant recognition, having won a PIJ this year and being marked for Seal, demonstrating the quality and standards being achieved across the development.

The Role

As Assistant Site Manager, you will work closely with the Senior Site Management team, taking responsibility for the day-to-day management of your areas of the development. You will be expected to demonstrate strong leadership, organisation and commercial awareness, while maintaining high standards across health & safety, quality, programme and delivery.

This role would particularly suit an Assistant Site Manager who is looking to progress into a Site Manager position and wants the opportunity to demonstrate they are ready for that responsibility.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Proven experience as an Assistant Site Manager within residential housebuilding
  • Strong knowledge of traditional masonry and/or timber-frame construction
  • Experience working on large-volume housing developments
  • A strong understanding of NHBC standards, health & safety and quality
  • Excellent organisational and leadership skills
  • The confidence to manage subcontractors and drive programme
  • A proactive, hands-on approach to site management
  • The ambition and capability to progress to Site Manager

If you're an Assistant Site Manager who feels you're ready to take the next step, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-performing development with a substantial programme of work remaining.

Apply now for a confidential discussion about the role and progression opportunity.
