We’re working with a highly respected residential developer to recruit an Assistant Site Manager for a 200-unit traditional build development in West Sussex.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business during a period of sustained growth and investment. With a strong pipeline of developments and a reputation for delivering high-quality homes.

The development itself is in the early stages of construction and has recently seen additional plot releases, creating the need for another Assistant Site Manager to support the growing site team. You’ll be working closely with an experienced Site Manager and visiting Contracts Manager on a busy development that has ambitious targets and high standards from the outset.

This isn’t a site simply focused on numbers. The team are genuinely passionate about quality and are looking for someone who shares that mindset. They’re aiming to deliver a development they can be proud of and are looking for an individual who wants to be part of a team striving for industry recognition through NHBC Pride in the Job.

• Supporting NHBC inspections and ensuring works are delivered to the required standards
• Helping drive production targets while maintaining attention to detail
• Building strong working relationships with trades, suppliers, and the wider site team
• Identifying issues early and working collaboratively to find solutions
• Contributing to a positive, professional, and quality-focused site culture

What We’re Looking For

• Experience working as an Assistant Site Manager within residential housebuilding
• Traditional build experience is essential

• Experience working with a PLC developer or quality-focused regional housebuilder would be advantageous
• Someone who takes pride in quality and wants to be part of an award-winning team environment
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A proactive and ambitious individual looking to progress their career

What’s On Offer

• Up to 55,000 basic salary
• Competitive package including bonus, car allowance, pension and additional benefits
• Opportunity to join a growing and highly respected residential developer
• Exposure to experienced operational leadership and mentorship
• Clear opportunities for progression and career development
