  • Manage labour, subcontractors and site activity
  • Focus on fire door installations and third-party accreditation requirements

Requirements:

  • Experience managing contracts up to £1m
  • Confident running live construction sites
  • Fire door experience
  • SMSTS qualification
  • Good understanding of third-party accreditation such as FIRAS, BM Trada and BRE
  • Solid grasp of SHEQ, CDM and Principal Contractor duties
What we offer:
  • Car / Car Allowance
  • Bonus
  • Health Plan membership for you and family
