Every Assistant Site Manager comes from one of two places.

Route 1: Degree, tidy CV, can build a programme that actually makes sense. Knows Excel better than most people know their own postcode. Runs inductions, H&S, paperwork - keeps the job compliant (and everyone honest).

Route 2: Started on site, maybe as a logistics manager - probably carrying something heavy at some point. Knows who’s turning up late, what’s going wrong, and why. Can run an induction off the top of their head - might just need a hand finding the spreadsheet.

This role will take either.

It’s with a prime residential specialist that’s been around 30+ years - quietly getting on with it while others came and went (including recessions, the credit crunch, and everything else thrown at the industry). Small team. Long-serving people. Most of the senior site managers started on the tools and never left.

They’re not hiring because of churn. They’re thinking about the next generation.

The role: Assistant Site Manager on a £3.5m refurb in Phillimore Place, Kensington - Just starting - 18-month programme Proper Cut & Carve • Demo + new double rear extension • Full M&E + AV • Roof strip and replacement (lead & slate) • Levelling floors throughout

You’ll be No.2 to a hands-on Site Manager (carpenter by trade, serious about levels and datums). He builds it right. You make sure everything else doesn’t unravel.

Must have: • SSSTS, CSCS, First Aid • Some organisation (however you’ve learned it) • A lot of ambition - they promote from within

£40–50k + package type of role Whichever route you came from…this is where it either clicks, or it doesn’t. Please get in touch if this sounds like you.
