Summary

If you're an Assistant Site Manager who reckons they're almost ready to step up to Site Manager then this Greater Manchester business wants to talk to you. And why's that, you ask? Well, it's because they're after exactly that - an experienced Assistant to run a fast paced timber frame site in Widnes who's pretty much set to step up thereafter. Not only that, but they'll offer offer you a simple chain of command, a relaxed non-PLC environment and the chance for continuity in the Northwest on brand new sites for years to come - not bad, hey?

This family business, who go quietly about their work with none of the ‘in-your-face’ approach you get at some builders, are looking for you, along with an experienced Site Manager, to run this brand-new site in Widnes, a timber frame development of 63 houses which will be for social/affordable tenures. It doesn't matter which background you have, open market or contractor/affordable - as long as you've a history of building timber frame houses to a programme and successfully then you'll be in the running.

From 2020, they've really established themselves as one of the best-known contractors in the Northwest for affordable and social housing new build. They have a strong pipeline of brand-new sites within the Greater Manchester area and there's no ego's here - the culture is one of placing responsibility, not blame, on the personnel within the business. They're a family business, after all.

Offering a package of early £40,000's (with a stretch up to mid-£40,000's for the right person) plus car allowance, pension, a company-wide bonus and a general really great place to work (from my feedback on over 30+ placements down the years), if you want a place realise your potential or if you’ve been stuck in a grinding machine elsewhere I’d say this is the place to be.

I have worked with this company for several years and the biggest compliment I can give them is that employees don’t tend to move on from this business – they must be doing something right.

Summary:
