Senior Site Manager – Major Office Refurbishment
Reigate, Surrey

I’m working with an established and growing contractor that is looking to appoint a Senior Site Manager for a major office refurbishment and building-services upgrade in Reigate.

This is effectively a “mini Project Manager” position. You will be the operational lead on site, taking responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of the scheme across two office blocks, from the early stages through to commissioning and handover.

The project is being delivered over a 52-week programme, with completion scheduled for August 2027. The scope includes the complete replacement and upgrade of the building’s mechanical, electrical and public-health services, together with associated architectural and builders’ works.

Key elements include:

*

New VRF heating and cooling systems, AHUs, air-source heat pumps and ventilation

*

Replacement power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting and containment

*

Installation and integration of a new Building Management System

*

Domestic water, drainage and sanitary services

*

Refurbishment of WC facilities throughout both buildings

*

Refurbishment and upgrading of the existing lifts

*

EV charging infrastructure, car-park works and associated external works

As Senior Site Manager, you will:

*

Take overall responsibility for the daily management and coordination of the site

*

Manage the site team, specialist subcontractors and building-services packages

*

Drive the programme and ensure works are properly sequenced across both blocks

*

Lead client, consultant and subcontractor meetings

*

Coordinate design information and resolve technical or logistical issues

*

Maintain high standards of health and safety, quality and site presentation

*

Monitor progress, report against programme and identify potential delays

*

Oversee testing, commissioning, snagging and final handover

*

Work closely with the commercial and senior management teams throughout delivery

The successful candidate will ideally have:

*

Experience working as a Senior Site Manager, No.1 Site Manager or Project Manager

*

A strong main-contractor or principal-contractor background

*

Experience delivering technically complex refurbishment projects

*

A good understanding of mechanical, electrical and public-health services

*

The confidence to manage the wider project rather than an individual package

*

Strong programming, subcontractor-management and client-facing skills

*

SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications

This would particularly suit an experienced Senior Site Manager who is ready to take ownership of an entire project and operate with the responsibility of a Project Manager.

A competitive salary and package will be offered, depending on experience
