Site Supervisor (Roofing & Cladding)

Position: Site Supervisor

Location: London and surrounding areas (site based)

Salary: £40,000 to £55,000 plus van and Christmas bonus

If you started out on the tools in roofing and cladding and have since stepped up to run sites, this role is built around you. A well-established roofing and cladding specialist, trading for over 20 years, is growing quickly and needs a hands-on Site Manager to take charge of its live projects across London and the surrounding areas.

The business delivers single ply roofing, flat and felt roofing systems, rainscreen cladding and full building envelope packages across residential, commercial, infrastructure and public sector schemes. Single ply makes up the majority of the roofing workload. Projects typically run at £1 million to £2 million, and you will look after around two live sites at a time, with current work in Abingdon, Sutton and Chertsey and more coming through.

This is not a desk-based management role. You will be on site every day, leading the teams, keeping health and safety and QA records up to date, and dealing directly with clients. The business cares as much about how you work with people as what is on your CV, so if you are proactive, reliable and the kind of person who actually completes the paperwork, you will fit right in. With the company expanding fast, there is real scope to progress as it grows.
