Senior Site Manager - New Build Residential Development
We're working with one of the UK's most respected residential developers to recruit a Senior Site Manager for an exciting new 100-unit traditional build development in West Sussex.
Known for creating thoughtfully designed neighbourhoods rather than simply building houses, this developer has earned an excellent reputation for the quality of its homes, attention to detail, and the communities it delivers. Their developments are carefully planned, sympathetically designed, and consistently finished to a standard that sets them apart within the industry.
This is a rare opportunity to join a site before construction begins.
With works due to commence shortly, you'll have the chance to establish the site from day one, putting your own stamp on the project, building a strong team around you, and creating the standards that will carry the development through to completion.
The business is looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, setting the tone from the outset, and leading by example. They want someone who takes genuine pride in the homes they build, understands that the smallest details matter, and can create a culture where high standards become the norm rather than the exception.
The Role
As Senior Site Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day delivery of this brand-new traditional build development from initial site set-up through to the final handover.
Your responsibilities will include:
Leading the site through pre-construction, set-up, and the early build stages
Establishing site standards, processes, and a positive working culture from day one
Managing subcontractors and coordinating trades to maintain programme and productivity
Driving build quality throughout every stage of construction
Leading all NHBC inspections and ensuring homes are delivered to the highest standards
Building, mentoring, and supporting the site management team as the project grows
Maintaining exceptional health & safety standards across the development
Working closely with the Contracts Manager and wider business to achieve programme, quality, and customer satisfaction targets
Creating an organised, well-run site that both the team and future homeowners can be proud of
What We're Looking For
Proven experience as a Senior Site Manager within residential housebuilding
Strong background delivering traditional build developments
Previous experience with a PLC developer or quality-led regional housebuilder
Excellent understanding of NHBC standards and inspection processes
A confident leader who enjoys developing people and creating high-performing teams
Someone who takes ownership, plans ahead, and leads from the front
A manager who believes that delivering an exceptional home starts long before the customer collects the keys
What's On Offer
Up to £80,000 basic salary
Competitive package including bonus, car allowance, pension, and additional benefits
The opportunity to lead a brand-new development from the very beginning
Long-term pipeline of work with a highly respected residential developer
Support from an experienced operational leadership team
Genuine opportunities for career progression within a growing business
The chance to create a development that will become a benchmark for quality within the region
If you're a Senior Site Manager who enjoys the challenge of building something from the ground up, values craftsmanship as much as programme, and wants to lead a development where quality is never an afterthought, this is an opportunity that's well worth exploring.
