Senior Site Manager

Senior Site Manager – Super-Prime Heritage Residential

Location: Wimbledon – South West London

Salary: £70,000 – £85,000 + package

Type: Permanent | Full-time

A Grade II* listed home in South West London – Jacobean, Georgian and Victorian in character, is undergoing a full restoration and a new two-storey basement. We're looking for a Senior Site Manager to run the site day to day: driving the build, holding the quality line and keeping the trades moving to programme.

This is a hands-on, site-based role for a Senior Site Manager who's at their best on the deck, not behind a desk.

As Senior Site Manager, you will:

* Run day-to-day delivery from enabling works through to fit-out and handover

* Manage and sequence subcontractors and specialist heritage trades

* Own quality control on site — every finish to a super-prime standard

* Drive the two-storey basement and structural works on the ground

* Make sure modern services go in discreetly without compromising the historic fabric

* Keep the programme on track and flag risk early

* Maintain a safe, well-run, tidy site

* Report progress directly to the project lead and the principal

You'll need

* Extensive experience as a Senior Site Manager on prime/super-prime London residential

* A track record on heritage refurbishments and basement schemes

* Strong grasp of build sequencing, temporary works and structural delivery

* Familiarity with traditional craft (lime plaster, timber sashes) alongside modern methods

* The presence to command respect on site and get the best from trades

* Relevant site management and safety qualifications; CIOB or heritage training (SPAB, IHBC) a plus

On offer

* £70,000–£85,000 depending on experience

* Discretionary performance-related bonus

* A standout project on one of London's most distinctive heritage homes
