Are you an expert at the "final mile"? We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Assistant Site Manager to join our team as we push a major residential social housing project across the finish line.
If you have a keen eye for quality, a knack for managing subcontractors, and a drive to reach Practical Completion (PC), we want to hear from you.
The Role
This isn't a "groundworks and shells" kind of gig. This project is in its critical latter stages. You will be the engine room of the finishing phase, ensuring every unit meets our high standards before handover.
Key Responsibilities:
The Finishing Straight: Oversee internal works including electrical fit-outs, fire alarm installations, decorating, and flooring.
Snagging & Quality Control: Conduct rigorous inspections, generate snag lists, and-most importantly-ensure those snags are cleared promptly.
Subcontractor Management: Liaise daily with trades to keep the programme on track and resolve site-level bottlenecks.
Client Liaison: Act as a professional point of contact for the client, providing updates and ensuring their expectations are met.
Path to PC: Work closely with the Site Manager to compile all necessary documentation and physical works required to achieve Practical Completion.
What We're Looking For
We need someone who understands the nuances of Residential/Social Housing projects. This role requires a "project-focused" mindset rather than a maintenance or planned works background.
Essential Experience:
Proven Track Record: Experience as an ASM on residential new build or major social housing refurbishments.
Technical Knowledge: A solid understanding of fire alarms, electrical compliance, and internal finishes.
Communication: The ability to be firm but fair with contractors and professional with clients.
Deadlines: A natural drive to hit completion dates without compromising on safety or quality.
Requirements
CSCS Card (Supervisor level preferred).
SMSTS or SSSTS qualification.
First Aid at Work.
Previous experience specifically in the completion/handover phases of a project.
