Job Description
Workers-Direct is partnering with a leading construction and development firm in the historic city of York to recruit a capable and experienced Site Manager for an immediate start. This is a pivotal role overseeing a significant commercial refurbishment project in the YO1 postcode area, requiring a professional who can ensure the site runs smoothly, safely, and to schedule. Our client is a respected name in the industry, known for high-quality projects that enhance York's unique architectural landscape, and they need a manager who can uphold these standards daily.
Applying through Workers-Direct gives you direct access to this immediate start opportunity without the lengthy delays of traditional applications. We specialise in connecting skilled professionals like Site Managers with urgent vacancies across Yorkshire. As a trusted local recruitment agency, we understand the specific demands of the York construction market. By registering with us, you gain a dedicated consultant who will advocate for you, handle the administrative details, and ensure you are matched with roles that fit your skills and career goals, much like we do for roles such as a Plasterer in Northampton NN4 or a Logistics Coordinator in London SE1.
Key Responsibilities
- Take full day-to-day operational control of the construction site in York YO1, ensuring all activities comply with health, safety, and environmental regulations.
- Plan, coordinate, and supervise all on-site labour, subcontractors, and material deliveries to maintain project timelines and budgetary constraints.
- Conduct daily site inductions, toolbox talks, and safety inspections, maintaining meticulous records and ensuring all personnel hold valid certifications (e.g., CSCS).
- Liaise directly with the client's representatives, architects, and engineers, providing regular progress reports and resolving any technical or logistical issues promptly.
- Manage quality control procedures, inspecting workmanship and materials to ensure they meet the project's specifications and the highest standards.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Site Manager or similar senior site-based role, with a strong portfolio in commercial or refurbishment projects.
- Essential certifications: SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme), CSCS Black Card, First Aid at Work, and a thorough understanding of CDM regulations.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to motivate a diverse team and manage subcontractor relationships effectively.
- A pragmatic, problem-solving attitude, with strong organisational skills and proficiency in site management software and MS Office.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in transparent and fair remuneration for the critical work Site Managers perform. For this role in York YO1, we offer a highly competitive pay rate that reflects your experience, qualifications, and the responsibilities of the position. Pay is processed weekly, providing you with reliable and consistent income. While this is initially a temporary assignment, it offers significant potential for extension or transition to a permanent position with the client for the right candidate, serving as a fantastic career stepping stone.
In addition to the financial package, you will benefit from the full support of the Workers-Direct team. This includes a dedicated consultant who provides a single point of contact, assistance with timesheets and payroll queries, and access to a wide range of other immediate start opportunities should you seek further work. Our commitment is to be more than just an agency; we are your career partner in the York region.
