Summary

An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level Construction Site Manager to shape the future of Property & Construction in Newcastle.

Newcastle's construction sector is busy right now, with residential and commercial schemes competing for the same pool of experienced site talent. This established, growing SME in Property & Construction has built a reputation on doing things properly: structured processes, defined roles, and enough scale to offer genuine progression. They need a Construction Site Manager who can run sites without needing to be chased.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Managing day-to-day operations across live construction sites in and around Newcastle, from groundworks through to handover

Coordinating subcontractors, trades and suppliers to keep programmes on track and costs under control

Running site inductions, toolbox talks and health and safety checks, and holding everyone to the same standard

Liaising with clients, architects and the wider project team to resolve issues before they become delays

Monitoring quality against build specifications and signing off work at each stage

Reporting progress, risks and budget variances to senior management on a regular cycle

Here are the skills you'll need:

Solid experience as a Construction Site Manager or in a similar site leadership role, ideally within residential or commercial builds

SMSTS and CSCS accreditation as a minimum, with a first aid certificate a strong advantage

Working knowledge of building regulations, health and safety legislation, and programme management

Confident, clear communicator who can manage subcontractors firmly without creating friction

Comfortable reading drawings and specifications, and spotting problems before they cost money

A calm head under pressure. Sites rarely go exactly to plan, and this role needs someone who adapts fast

Key perks and benefits:

£40,000 to £61,500 depending on experience, plus a bonus scheme

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Generous annual leave with flexible working built around site demands

Office-based role with clear reporting lines and genuine room to grow into a senior position

Structured support and professional development within a company that's scaling deliberately, not chaotically

Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?

Property & Construction rewards people who can actually deliver, and Newcastle's pipeline of new-build and regeneration projects means demand for capable site managers isn't slowing down. Progress into senior or regional roles tends to come quickly once you've proven you can run a site properly. Few sectors offer this much visible, tangible proof of what you've built.
