Senior Site Manager - 100 Unit Traditional Build Development
We're working with a well-established PLC housebuilder to recruit a Senior Site Manager for an exciting new 100-unit traditional build development near Godalming, Surrey.
This is a rare opportunity to join a site before construction has even begun. With works due to commence shortly, you'll have the chance to influence the development from day one, establishing standards, building your team, and shaping the culture of the site from the very beginning.
The business is looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, setting expectations early, and creating an environment where quality, programme, safety, and team performance work hand in hand. This is a development that will require strong leadership from the outset and would suit someone who takes pride in delivering homes the right way rather than simply chasing numbers.
You'll be supported by an experienced operational team while having the autonomy to lead the day-to-day delivery of the development and leave your mark on a scheme from its first foundations through to final handover.
The Role
As Senior Site Manager, you'll take responsibility for establishing and leading the development from the very beginning
Your responsibilities will include:
Leading the site through pre-construction, set-up, and build commencement stages
Establishing site standards, procedures, and working practices from day one
Managing subcontractors and coordinating trades throughout the build programme
Driving build quality and maintaining excellent site presentation standards
Leading NHBC inspections and ensuring homes are delivered to the highest standards
Building and developing a strong site management team
Maintaining exceptional health & safety standards across the development
Managing programme performance and proactively resolving challenges before they impact delivery
Working closely with the Contracts Manager and wider business to achieve production and quality targets
Creating a positive site culture focused on accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
Proven experience as a Senior Site Manager within residential housebuilding
Strong traditional build experience
Must have Experience working with a PLC developer or volume housebuilder
Excellent understanding of NHBC standards and inspection requirements
Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop site teams
A proactive and organised approach to project delivery
Someone who takes genuine pride in quality and enjoys creating high-performing sites
What's On Offer
Up to £80,000 basic salary
Competitive package including car allowance, bonus, pension, and additional benefits
Opportunity to lead a development from its very first stages through to completion
Support from an experienced operational leadership team
Long-term career progression opportunities
The chance to put your own stamp on a brand-new development from day one
This role would suit a Senior Site Manager who enjoys the challenge of starting a site from scratch, building a team around them, and creating a development they can genuinely look back on with pride. If you enjoy setting standards rather than inheriting them, this could be an excellent opportunity.
