Site Manager

My client is a leading engineering and construction firm known for delivering high-profile infrastructure projects across the transport sector. As they continue their expansion, my client is seeking a dedicated and experienced Site Manager with a strong background in Civil Engineering to take on the challenge of delivering three new-build railway stations. This role is essential in the commitment to building safe, modern, and efficient transportation hubs that will serve local communities for decades to come.

As the Site Manager, you will oversee the end-to-end delivery of three railway station new builds.

You will coordinate site operations, manage a diverse team, and serve as the central point of contact for all on-site activities.

A Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification is required for this role, as it involves working within railway environments. Your experience in civil engineering and railway infrastructure will be critical to managing the specific challenges associated with station construction and ensuring compliance with rail safety protocols.
