Working closely with the Project Manager and Contracts Manager, you will lead day-to-day site operations and bring together engineering, logistics, design, commercial, HSEQS and supply-chain teams around a safe, efficient and high-quality delivery plan.

• Lead site coordination meetings, briefings and daily planning activities, ensuring that interfaces and upcoming requirements are understood. 
• Manage and develop Site Managers, engineers, supervisors and trade contractors within your area of responsibility. 
• Work closely with design, engineering, planning and commercial colleagues to resolve information requirements and keep work ready to proceed. 
• Build positive working relationships with the client team, consultants, statutory bodies, neighbours and supply-chain partners. 
• Champion Sisk’s Zero Injury approach through visible leadership, effective planning, strong supervision and consistent site standards. 
• Drive quality from first installation, ensuring inspections, records, benchmarks, testing and handover information are completed as the work progresses. 
• Monitor progress against agreed milestones, communicate emerging risks early and lead practical recovery or improvement actions where required. 
• Support commissioning, sectional completion, handover, defects close-out and aftercare to deliver an excellent final outcome. 
• Share learning across the project and coach team members to strengthen capability and support succession into broader project leadership roles. 

• A strong record of site delivery on large or complex construction, civil engineering or infrastructure projects for a main contractor. 
• Experience operating as a Site Manager or Senior Site Manager with responsibility for substantial work packages, multiple subcontractors or a significant project area. 
• Strong understanding of construction methodology, sequencing, logistics, temporary works, quality control and short-term programming. 
• Proven ability to lead site teams and supply-chain partners, set clear expectations and maintain momentum across a busy delivery environment. 
• Confident use of drawings, specifications, model-based information and digital project systems to plan and coordinate work. 
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to engage project leaders, clients, consultants and frontline teams. 
• A practical, collaborative and solutions-focused approach, with sound judgement and the ability to make timely decisions. 
• A commitment to developing people, improving how work is delivered and progressing towards wider project leadership responsibility.

• A degree, trade qualification or equivalent professional route in construction, engineering or a related discipline.
