Assistant Site Manager

Permanent - Full Time – 40 Hours

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Site Manager to join our growing Partnerships team in Somerset, supporting the delivery of refurbishment and regeneration projects that enhance communities and improve homes for local residents.

Working closely with the Contracts Manager, you will play a key role in the successful delivery of projects, helping to ensure works are completed safely, on programme, within budget and to the highest quality standards. You will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day site activities, managing quality control, monitoring progress against programme targets and maintaining excellent customer and stakeholder relationships throughout the project lifecycle.

The role will involve coordinating subcontractors and suppliers, supporting effective cost control, ensuring compliance with NHBC standards and Building Regulations, and liaising with key external stakeholders including Building Control and statutory authorities. You will also be expected to champion health, safety and environmental best practice across site while contributing to a culture focused on quality, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

We are looking for an individual with experience within refurbishment, planned maintenance or housing construction who can demonstrate strong organisational and communication skills, along with a proactive approach to site management.

You will have a sound understanding of construction processes, good trade practice and relevant health and safety requirements, together with knowledge of NHBC standards and Building Regulations. Experience of road and sewer construction would be advantageous.

You will be confident building positive working relationships with subcontractors, colleagues, clients and residents, and will possess strong IT skills. Experience using Power Project, Project Plus and COINS ERP software would be beneficial, although applicants with experience of similar systems are encouraged to apply.
