This is an excellent opportunity for a driven ASM who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working on detailed, quality-focused traditional construction projects.

Role Overview

As the Assistant Site Manager, you will support the Site Manager with the day-to-day running of the project, ensuring works are completed on time, to spec, and in line with safety and quality standards. You’ll play a key role in coordinating trades, maintaining site documentation, and supporting smooth progression of the build.

Responsibilities

• Assisting the Site Manager in daily delivery of site operations
• Supervising trades and subcontractors
• Conducting site inductions and ensuring H&S procedures are followed
• Supporting quality checks and ensuring work aligns with drawings/specs
• Managing short-term programmes and reporting progress

What We’re Looking For 

Hands-on trade knowledge

Experience working on brick-and-block construction, pitched roofs, traditional M&E integration, and wet trades.

Strong coordination skills

Ability to manage multiple trades simultaneously, particularly in the busy middle phases (superstructure, first fix, externals, roofing).

Quality-first mindset

Traditional builds require attention to detail—snag awareness, understanding of building control, and efficient close-out processes.

Health & Safety confidence

Knowledge of RAMS, inductions, permits, and compliance aligned to a traditional site environment.

Clear communication

Confident dealing with site teams, clients, residents, and senior management.
