We are looking for a Site Manager to provide short-term site cover on a project in Carlisle.

This is a straightforward site-management assignment. The client is not looking for somebody with highly specialised project experience. The priority is finding a reliable manager with the correct qualifications who can be present on site each day, open and close the site and ensure works are carried out safely.

• Ensuring contractors are working safely and in accordance with site procedures
• Maintaining good housekeeping and general site standards
• Monitoring health and safety compliance
• Carrying out site inductions and briefings where required
• Reviewing RAMS and permits as necessary
• Liaising with the Project Manager and site contractors
• Keeping basic site records and reporting progress
• Ensuring the site is left safe and secure at the end of each shift

A civils or groundworks background would be advantageous, but it is not essential for this assignment.

Essential requirements:

• SMSTS
• First Aid at Work
• Fire Marshal / Fire Warden qualification
• Previous experience working as a Site Manager or Site Supervisor
• Available to start Monday 2 November
• Able to commit to the full 3-week assignment
• Reliable and comfortable taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of the site

This would suit an experienced Site Manager who is between projects, available immediately and looking for a short-term assignment close to Carlisle.

Please apply with an up-to-date CV and confirm your availability and current qualifications.
