My cleint is  looking for an experienced and hands-on Site Manager / Backshift Site Manager to oversee works on a commercial fit-out and refurbishment project in North West London.

The project will involve the strip-out and replacement of existing dry lining, installation of underfloor data services and associated fit-out works.

The successful Site Manager will be responsible for managing the site and coordinating subcontractors and trades throughout the backshift. This is a hands-on Site Management position, requiring someone with previous experience working on commercial fit-out projects who can confidently manage multiple trades, maintain programme progress and ensure works are completed safely and to the required standard.

A key part of the Site Manager's role will be using BIM 360 to record, photograph and document site progress, track completed works and maintain accurate project records.

Key Responsibilities

• Take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the site during the backshift.
• Manage, coordinate and supervise all subcontractors and trades working on site.
• Oversee strip-out works, replacement dry lining and underfloor data installation.
• Ensure all trades are working to the agreed programme and coordinating effectively with one another.
• Monitor workmanship and ensure all works are completed to the required quality standards.
• Use BIM 360 daily to document progress, upload photographs, record site activities and maintain project information.
• Keep accurate records of completed works, outstanding activities and any issues arising during the shift.
• Identify and resolve site issues, coordinating with subcontractors and escalating matters to the Project Manager where necessary.
• Ensure all subcontractors are working in accordance with approved RAMS and site procedures.
• Carry out regular Health & Safety inspections and ensure the site remains safe and compliant.
• Manage permits to work and ensure all necessary documentation is in place.
• Coordinate materials, deliveries and site access as required.
• Provide clear daily progress updates and a comprehensive handover to the day-shift Site Management team.
• Ensure the site is left clean, safe and secure at the end of each shift.

Experience & Requirements

The ideal Site Manager will have:

• Proven experience as a Site Manager on commercial fit-out or refurbishment projects.
• Previous experience managing backshift, evening or night-shift construction operations.
• A strong understanding of dry lining, strip-out and general fit-out activities.
• Experience coordinating multiple subcontractors and trades on busy construction sites.
• Good working knowledge of BIM 360, particularly for recording and documenting site progress.
• The ability to read and understand construction drawings and specifications.
• A proactive approach to site management, problem-solving and programme delivery.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage trades effectively without constant supervision.

Essential Qualifications – All Relevant Site Tickets

The Site Manager must hold the relevant current site management qualifications and safety tickets, including:

• SMSTS.
• CSCS Black Manager's Card.
• First Aid at Work.
• Asbestos Awareness.
• Manual Handling.
• Working at Height.
• Fire Marshal / Fire Safety.
• Any additional site-specific safety qualifications required for the project.

Working Hours

This is a dedicated Backshift Site Manager position.

• Start time: 3:00pm or 4:00pm.
• Finish time: Approximately midnight.
• Working hours will be confirmed in line with project requirements.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a confident, organised and practical Site Manager who has a strong background in commercial fit-out projects.

The successful candidate will be comfortable taking ownership of the site during the backshift, managing subcontractors, monitoring progress and ensuring that all activities are properly documented using BIM 360.

This is primarily a trade-management and site-coordination role rather than a purely administrative position. We need a Site Manager who is visible on site, understands the work being undertaken and can keep the project moving forward throughout the evening shift.

If you are an experienced Site Manager with commercial fit-out experience, strong trade-management skills and good knowledge of BIM 360, we would like to hear from you.
