Job Description

Site Manager - 200 Unit Traditional Build

We're working with an established award-winning developer with a strong track record of delivering quality residential schemes across the region. They're looking for a Site Manager to lead a 200-unit traditional build development in a sought-after West Sussex setting.

You'll have the support of an Assistant Site Manager beneath you, alongside a Project Manager overseeing the scheme - giving you the structure to focus on delivering a well-run, high-performing site.

What You'll Be Doing
You'll be the person setting the tone on site. Creating the standards, driving the pace, and making sure everything - from groundwork through to final handover - reflects the level expected of an award-winning developer.

  • Leading the day-to-day running of a 200-unit traditional build development
  • Setting and maintaining high standards across build quality, site presentation, and safety
  • Keeping the programme moving, solving problems early, and keeping trades aligned
  • Building strong relationships with subcontractors and holding them to account
  • Taking ownership of NHBC inspections and ensuring everything is right first time
  • Creating an environment where the team takes pride in what they're delivering

What We're Looking For

  • Must have proven experience as a Site Manager within residential housebuilding
  • Background working with a reputable developer or high-volume housebuilder
  • Strong knowledge of NHBC standards and inspection processes
  • Someone who takes pride in quality and wants to deliver something exceptional
  • A natural leader who can motivate a team and keep standards consistently high
  • Organised, driven, and comfortable being accountable for performance on site

What's On Offer

  • Up to 70,000 basic salary
  • Competitive package + bonus
  • Opportunity to lead a high-quality, flagship-style development
  • Strong support structure with clear reporting lines
  • A business that genuinely values quality and reputation

If you're at the stage where you want more ownership, more responsibility, and the chance to deliver a site you can genuinely be proud of, this is worth a conversation.
