The Vacancy

Due to ongoing success here at Wates we have an opportunity for a Site Manager to join our planned maintenance team in the Leicestershire area.

As the Site Manager you will be working on a project that consists of a range of planned works, working closely with one of our social housing partners. Ideally, we are looking for an experienced site manager in this field.

The primary focus of this role will be to ensure a project is built safely, economically, to the agreed timescales and quality standards.

Key Accountabilities will include:

1. Responsible for input into and programming the works/short-term programming of works.
2. Manage Operatives, Sub-Contractors and Suppliers to ensure quality control is always maintained along with Health and safety.
3. Attend pre- and post-inspection works and advise on appropriate action and job requirements and assist with design solutions. This results in the successful delivery and handover of schemes.
4. Carry out Weekly Site Progress reports per scheme that will be filed electronically as well as submitting to the Project Manager.
5. Ensure that once works are completed, the full and completed job packs are sent to the Project Manager at the office along with completion details to guarantee a swift invoicing procedure to eliminate WIP (work In Progress) & certify cash flow.

We are looking for an experienced Site Manager with a successful track record of managing projects within the social housing arena, ideally with kitchen and bathroom planned works.

To be successful in the role, you will be an effective communicator with a positive and engaging approach to providing site leadership. You will have strong IT skills (including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) with the ability to prioritise a wide range of tasks to set deadlines.

Wates is committed to the fair treatment of people with criminal records, including employees and potential employees. We ensure that our recruitment, promotion, and retention activity does not treat people less favourably because of an offending background.

Applicants with criminal convictions will be assessed individually, and we assure you that we do not discriminate based on an applicant's criminal record or the details of any disclosed offenses. Additionally, certain roles may be subject to additional pre-employment checks.
