The Opportunity
An established London main contractor is seeking an experienced Senior Site Manager to join the delivery team on a technically challenging commercial refurbishment and extension in Central London.
This position requires a Senior Site Manager from a strong engineering background, with demonstrable experience delivering complex cut-and-carve, structural alteration and refurbishment projects.
The Project
The scheme involves the transformation of a Grade II listed commercial building into approximately 30,000 sq ft of premium office accommodation across seven floors.

* A two-storey vertical extension and new rooftop pavilion
* Installation of new lifts and modern MEP systems
* Complete window replacement
* High-quality office, amenity and retail accommodation
* Retention and protection of the building’s historic features
The constrained Central London location and interface between the existing structure and new-build elements make this a particularly engineering-led project.

* Coordinate the new reinforced-concrete core and vertical extension works

* Work closely with the Project Manager, Design Manager, engineers and wider site team
* Coordinate interfaces between structural, architectural and building-services packages
* Maintain short-term programmes and monitor progress against key milestones
* Lead site inspections, quality-control procedures and health and safety standards
* Provide accurate progress updates and contribute to client and consultant meetings
* Manage works within a constrained and logistically challenging Central London environment
Candidate Requirements
* Previous experience as a Senior Site Manager or engineering-led Site Manager
* A strong engineering background, ideally having progressed from Site Engineer or Senior Engineer
* Proven cut-and-carve, structural refurbishment or major structural-alteration experience
* Good understanding of temporary works, demolition sequencing and reinforced-concrete construction
* Experience working on complex commercial projects for a recognised main contractor
* Confident reading and interrogating technical drawings and structural information
* Strong planning, coordination and problem-solving abilities
* Excellent health and safety and quality-management standards
* SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications
* Degree, HNC or HND in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline would be beneficial
This is an excellent opportunity to join a technically capable project team and play a leading role in the delivery of a prominent Central London redevelopment.
