Site Manager

Role Profile
This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK's market leaders in district heating, and to have all the freedom and autonomy you need to shape its future. The client has been established for six years, and growing rapidly over the last five. But then when you consider the value district heating creates for developers, businesses and residents - from sustainability and reliability to fair pricing and reduced carbon emissions - that growth is not surprising.

It's a role that will involve supporting the Project Delivery Manager with sub-contractors and suppliers, and developing positive relationships with clients and contractors. In terms of your day-to-day responsibilities, you can expect to be involved with all construction activity, pro-actively managing our clients programme, maintaining our own delivery programme, reducing the risk of variations through forward thinking and good risk management, co-ordinating and overseeing system commissioning processes and driving the projects ongoing efficiency and effectiveness. We'll also need you to make sure we always meet our regulatory and legislative responsibilities. At the same time, you'll identify and record problem areas or complaints, making sure these are swiftly resolved and monitoring the progress and performance of our internal and external service providers.
