We’re working with a well-established PLC developer with a strong track record of delivering quality residential schemes. They’re looking for an experienced Site Manager to take control of a development in a well-positioned East Sussex location – offering that balance of peaceful surroundings and be close to the seaside.

This is a live site that needs someone who can keep momentum, stay ahead of the programme, and maintain standards from start to finish.

You’ll have the support of an on-site team around you, giving you the structure to focus on running a tight, well-organised site.

• Taking full control of a residential development
• Managing the programme closely, ensuring trades are aligned and working efficiently
• Coordinating the sequencing specific to timber frame to avoid delays
• Setting clear expectations on site and holding subcontractors to account
• Leading on quality control and ensuring finishes meet a high standard
• Managing NHBC inspections and ensuring compliance throughout the build
• Creating a site environment that is organised, safe, and runs with purpose

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Site Manager within residential housebuilding
• Strong background working on timber frame or traditional developments
• Experience with a PLC developer or high-volume housebuilder
• Solid understanding of NHBC standards and inspection processes
• Someone who is driven, organised, and comfortable managing a fast-paced site
• A confident leader who can keep trades motivated and performance high

What’s On Offer

• Up to 70,000 basic salary
• Competitive package + bonus
• Opportunity to run a technically demanding timber frame site
• Long-term pipeline with a well-established developer
• A role where you can take ownership and deliver a high-performing site

If you’re an experienced Site Manager and wants a role where you can properly run your site, maintain standards, and keep things moving – this is worth a conversation.
